The rally world is stunned as Finnish ace Kalle Rovanperä, Toyota’s double world champion, grapples with a string of disappointments in the 2025 season.

Will he be able to rise to the occasion and reclaim his former glory? Stay tuned as the rally sensation navigates uncharted territory in his quest for redemption.
