Kalle Rovanperä's schedule is busy at the moment. Between his commitments in WRC with Toyota and in drifting, the double world rally champion will also have to provide space for the Porsche Carrera Cup Benelux since he will compete in 4 of the 6 rounds of the 2024 season of the one-make series in Belgium and the Netherlands.

So, with a view to this commitment, a first for him since he has never taken part in the circuit before, the Finn allowed himself a getaway to Belgian soil to try the 911 (992) GT3 Cup. In Zolder, Kalle Rovanperä had his first outing with the German mount of the RedAnt Racing team, the one he will represent this year.

« My first test with the 992 Cup was very interesting, summarized-he. I had a lot of fun driving while working with the team. I learned a lot of new things. I can't wait to race »

Its Porsche Carrera Cup Benelux program will begin at Zandvoort (June 7-9) for the second round of the campaign. Kalle Rovanperä will miss the premiere at Spa (May 9-11) since he is requisitioned by Toyota for the Rally of Portugal (May 9-12). The Scandinavian will then be in Imola (July 5-7), Red Bull Ring (September 13-15) and Zolder (May 11-13). In the meantime, he will be absent from Assen (August 2-4) since he is competing in the WRC Rally Finland the same weekend.

But before thinking about the circuit, he will be in Kenya (March 28-31) for the third event of the 3 World Rally Championship.
