Since he was captured drifting a car in the forests of Latvia aged nine, Rovanpera has already become folklore, a man who will pull the sport and win more world titles than any other driver in history by the time he is 30.
Toyota has dominated the last three editions of the WRC Safari, including a replica of the 1993 Safari last year when they took all the first four positions
Rovanpera’s WRC schedule beyond Kenya is yet to be announced although it is likely that he will appear in Latvia and Finland rounds
The 2022 WRC Safari Rally champion Kalle Rovanpera is entering selected events in this year's World Rally Championship and will return to Kenya without pressure for results.
This is after he decided to take a back seat from the demands of high level competition to catch up with fun of his "lost youthful days."
