Takamoto Katsuta has singled out his Toyota Gazoo Racing team-mate Kalle Rovanpera for his turnaround in fortunes at Secto Rally Finland.  

Kalle Rovanpera says he is focused on trying to “fully recover” in time for the next round of the FIA World Rally Championship following his accident on last weekend’s Secto Rally Finland.

Hyundai Team Principal Cyril Abiteboul acknowledges there is still work to do to be a “constant contender against Toyota” despite finishing second and fourth at last week’s Secto Rally Finland.

Toyota Gazoo Racing’s Elfyn Evans has said ten fastest stage times en route to a comprehensive victory at Secto Rally Finland with team-mate Scott Martin was something that “came naturally” to him.

Title chasing Thierry Neuville says that he is prepared to go all-in for victory over the closing two days of Secto Rally Finland.

World Rally Championship leader Kalle Rovanpera topped the shakedown stage leaderboard for Rally Finland, which begins this evening with a super special stage in the host city of Jyvaskyla.

The quick turnaround between rounds eight and nine of the World Rally Championship means Hyundai is unlikely “to make huge strides” against Toyota, despite a recent noticeable improvement in its gravel speed.   

Title chasing Thierry Neuville says he knows better than most just how important a podium finish on Rally Finland this week could prove in his on-going pursuit of defending World Champion Kalle Rovanpera.

Jari-Matti Latvala believes the experience of competing in a Rally1 car at Rally Finland will leave him better informed when it comes to helping shape the FIA World Rally Championship’s rule set.

Emil Lindholm believes a top-three finish is a “realistic target” on this week’s Secto Rally Finland – the 27-year-old’s home round of the FIA World Rally Championship’s WRC2 support series.

Kalle Rovanpera led home Toyota Gazoo Racing team-mate Elfyn Evans in a one-two finish for the Japanese squad on last weekend’s HYAcentre Rally in Finland. 

Toyota’s dominance at Rally Estonia should be used as “inspiration” by everyone connected with Hyundai Motorsport’s World Rally Championship programme, its Team Principal has said.
