Who can stop Kalle Rovanperä? The young 21-year-old Finnish driver once again demonstrated great mastery to win in Kenya. Even the two ogres of WRC, Sebastian Loeb et Sébastien Ogier could not prevent him from win the coronation on the Safari Rally. Since Thursday, Kalle Rovanperä has made no mistake to get his 4th victory in 6 rounds this season. 

« It feels good, I have to admit. It's the rally the hardest one I've been a part of to be honest. We have to thank the team, four top cars no problem, we clearly have the strongest and fastest cars, the team did a good job, thanks to my co-driver, we all put in a great performance “, declared Kalle Rovanperä.

Even the Kenyan conditions did not cool down the young driver. Capable of winning both in Sweden and on the Safari Rally, the Finn's versatility continues to amaze. “We planned it like that and we are doing it,” replied the Finn when asked about his ability to master all terrains. In the World Drivers' Championship, Kalle Rovanperä is now 65 points ahead of Thierry Neuville and 83 on Ott Tänak, before the next Rally Estonia, from July 14 to 17.
