Kalle Rovanperä’s Dominance in Rally Islas Canarias Leaves Veteran Juha Kankkunen Unimpressed
Kalle Rovanperä’s recent performance at Rally Islas Canarias has not only solidified his position as a force to be reckoned with in the world of rallying but has also left veteran Juha Kankkunen unimpressed. Despite Rovanperä’s stunning display on the challenging course, winning an impressive 15 out of 18 stages, Kankkunen, the Toyota deputy team principal, was quick to downplay the victory, stating, “I am not impressed.”
However, Kankkunen’s remarks were not meant to undermine Rovanperä’s achievement but rather to highlight that the young driver is simply back to his usual form after a rocky start to the season. With Rovanperä’s outstanding performance propelling him to second place in the drivers’ standings, it is evident that he is a serious contender for the championship title.
In addition to praising Rovanperä’s resurgence, Kankkunen also commended the rest of the Toyota team for their consistent performance throughout the season. With Elfyn Evans leading the championship and Sébastien Ogier delivering strong results, Toyota is proving to be a dominant force in the world of rallying.
Rovanperä himself expressed satisfaction with his performance at Rally Islas Canarias, describing it as one of the best weekends of his career. The young driver’s determination and skill have not gone unnoticed, and he is undoubtedly a rising star in the world of motorsport.
As the championship battle heats up, all eyes will be on Rovanperä and the Toyota team as they continue to push the limits of performance and strive for victory on the world stage.
