Kalle is one step closer to wrapping up the 2023 title. Can he do it this weekend?

[@igor318is]

Yes

[@penttiperusinsinoori3037]

Easily😅

[@StUtP9R4]

Absolutely!

[@larszenthio1012]

The two (four) Finns are on fire. 🔥🔥🔥🔥 WRC1 - #69 Kalle Rovanperä/Jonne Halttunen 😎👍 WRC2 - #27 Emil Lindholm/Reeta Hämäläinen 😎👍

[@hurri7720]

I have no doubt about that. And I think he wants that too because then he will be able to compete for the win in the next race. So far he has had to think about winning owerall for a long time.

[@clinteastwood14896]

Rovanperä always seems to be the fastest driver by far whenever the conditions are difficult. Here's to hoping he'll get his 2nd title this weekend!

[@djohansurya7528]

Kalle is the Best. From Indonesia.

[@R3tr0t]

Go Kalle!

[@andreharewood2384]

Kalle is looking good 2023 world rally champion go Kalle go

[@larszenthio1012]

1:40 Ogier: 'Unbelievable' 🤦Multi-time world champion Ogier has gotten used to starting first too many times, so he has been spoiled by the road surface. 😉

[@hurri7720]

It's far from always an advantage to start first.

[@larszenthio1012]

@@hurri7720 Yes, on asphalt rallies it is usually a big advantage, because then you avoid gravel and debris in the turns. On the other hand, gravel and snow rally, it is better to start a little further back, like in place 3-8 as there are tracks and the loose on the surface is swept away. 🚗💨

Thanks This The Great Video & Channel ! I Have a Same Car Channel too , From Finland ! #Retired4You

[@kontbijtkoek]

"off the road" is some way to downplay his huge -almost spectator killing- crash

[@with_the_ghosts5729]

Spectators standing on the outside on the exit off a turn is like waving a red flag at a bull

[@siviunative5241]

Unless Kale slips, 2nd WRC loading

[@cesarers7372]

Can't believe they've dropped iconic tarmac events like Tour de Corse or Sanremo for this one.

[@classic7376]

Yes, it's shame.

[@Johny-ij3qe]

Actually these roads are better, because its completely new and different for the drivers, not like north where is only snow and ice or south where is ONLY dirt or asphalt and nothing else

[@harrisonmbugua5337]

Keep going Neville, keep pushing, clean.

[@qiwei2684]

ya but this one not bad also. would like them to extend the calendar and everyone will be happy

[@cesarers7372]

@@Johny-ij3qe Let's face it: Iconic rallies of the past merged themselves as a kind of "natural selection" being a mix of thecnical routes, beautiful sceneries, logistics, and so on in a era when there was hundreds on events. Now it's been some years that WRC is trying to get new venues because you have to go where the money and the interest of manufacturers are in order to attract more people. Sometimes it's a succesfull move, sometimes not. Well, for me this is a no-go.
