How the WRC's new flying Finn reached new heights in the Greek mountains

After Kalle Rovanpera’s historic feat at Rally Estonia, the Finn scaled new heights at the Rally of the Gods with a commanding victory. And this time Toyota’s young star demonstrated why the future is bright with his devastating speed and consistency at the Acropolis Rally

It’s known as the Rally of the Gods, and those looking down from on high would have been in awe of Kalle Rovanpera’s devastating display to win the Acropolis Rally, a performance that confirmed the Finn as the World Rally Championship’s brightest young talent.
