“It helps a lot that I managed to get some sort of idea of the car before the rally.' JariMattiWRC says a first taste of the Toyota GR Yaris Rally1 on a rally stage fosgoodwood will help his WRC comeback at Rally Finland. ⬇️
The 18-time WRC rally winner and Toyota WRC boss is set to make a competitive return to rallying’s top flightWhile Latvala is scheduled to conduct a pre-event test day in the car before the rally, the Finn logged some valuable seat time at this week’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, which included runs through the event’s 2.5km Forest rally stage.
“It will help to get the feeling of the car before the test so that when I come to the test I don't lose time to just understanding the car.”After retiring from full-time driving in the WRC at the end of 2019, the 38-year-old is new to championship’s hybrid cars that were introduced last year. “I must say the boost, I’m really impressed. When the kick comes it feels like an old Audi Quattro when the turbo boost comes in," he added.
“I have never really driven it on a stage and to go with Petter I knew I couldn’t show that I was very slow and at the same time you can’t crash, so you have to find a way to adapt to the car quickly.
