Toyota is fielding both Rovanpera and Evans in a local rally this weekend using the same GR Yaris cars as WRC.
says this weekend’s extra preparation is to ensure the team is better placed to claim a home victory next week.
“We were not that good in Finland. I think what happened last year is we were strong in Estonia and then we were not competitive in Finland,” Latvala told Motorsport.com. “The philosophy in Toyota’s world is to try to improve so we will try to improve in the home rally, so it is better to do this event with two cars. We want to be there in Finland and try to win the home event.
"There was a couple events that we looked at after last season and Finland and Japan were events that didn’t go that well, along with Sardinia. In Sardinia this year we were at least a bit better there performance-wise but those were the the events where we are looking to improve. That is why we are taking it seriously.
Evans added: “Finland is one of those rallies where you can really gain something from being comfortable and having a good feeling beforehand and I think this time slot to have a rally this weekend has worked in terms of the calendar and testing, so it made sense to send us.The Toyota duo will also be joined by M-Sport-Ford.
