[@wrc]

What number would you pick, and why?

[@rjung_ch]

69 for the obvious reason 😆

[@KhairyanNP]

#14 Toyota GR Yaris, because i had 14 hopes/wishes

[@anggafuse8568]

11💪

[@late_night_club7217]

I would choose 49 because that was the year my dad was born and I miss him. He would probably think this sport is cool and would love that.

[@abanuit06669]

66 for the order 66 from Star Wars 😎

[@DropkickNation]

Also Kalle: "I drive 69 because...noice."

[@starksvensk]

It’s so sweet that katsuta numbered his car after his daughter 🥲

[@martsum398]

Why did you choose 69 Kalle? 'For the memes'

[@pylos9]

Kalle's turn incoming Me : Don't say it, don't say it!!

[@Teaminflament]

Haha, I’ve always thought “… what could be the other reason he has to pick that number?” I came up with nothing. I’d imagine they had Kalle in mind when coming up with the video idea, at the very least to dispel that theory.

[@AKK5I]

Nice

[@ZeugmaP]

I never realised 33 was EE backwards, simple but clever !

[@AsherSkylark]

Adrien's story is so coincidental that fate is bestowed upon that number

[@NemohHoes]

Ott - ''I was given that number, I didn't care'' 😄

[@xerontokyo]

Kinda like Kimi Raikkonen.

[@abanuit06669]

I truly like the story of Munster, I also read Michel Vaillant as a kid

[@antonio_sousa28]

such beautiful stories :) i was always curious about Craig's 42... i'll always hope it was a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy reference all along

[@yukimarutoshiro1018]

Elfyn Evans 🤝 Brad Binder Choosing 33 becuase it resembles their initials

[@late_night_club7217]

Munster can look left and right at the same time his peripherals must be insane

[@meowiguess903]

It's interesting to see isn't

[@n1ghtdragon]

i was waiting for kalles number the entirer video

[@varski76]

"Everybody remembers that one" how political answer but that is true

[@rjung_ch]

Cheers 👍💪✌

[@user-qd2rd6xk8f]

Katsuta 18 was Sebastian Loeb’s number in 2003

[@nomadnomad6555]

Adrien Fourmaux car exhaust sounds so aggressive especially when he is slowing down into a turn, My two sons love that sound Soo much that I had to pick a spectating stand that was next to a turn every stage 😂😂😂. Thanks for a great show in Kenya 🇰🇪💪👊✌️.

[@Bs_Void]

I was expecting a different answer from Kalle.....

[@hughjainus9686]

Kalle, Kalle, come on...

[@KhairyanNP]

Wait it can custom now? Imagine in Wrc Junior someone pick number 1

[@PedroAlves19_]

Only custom for Rally1 drivers. Number 1 is reserved for the current WC. Up to him if he wants to use it though.

[@brilliantradience]

because 11 is balance a libra number 7 is the luck of God IYKWIM

[@SergioMosteiro-mn7lo]

And Dani Sordo?🙁

[@UMFPSgameplays]

69 is such a remarkable number. 👅👌🏻

[@samialazmeh288]

How do I become a driver Help me

[@starksvensk]

Buy a car

[@jeps1332]

then drive it

[@KhairyanNP]

Then take it into the track and wear searbelt - nfs prostreet

[@HassanIbrahimRally57]

You can also try out Richard burns rally it's free and it's a sim that kalle even uses to train

[@meowiguess903]

You could start with joining a bunch of rally sprints

[@user-qd2rd6xk8f]

I’m sure everyone remembers 69

[@candyman1961]

666 😇

[@WRC-FAN]
