By combining the circuit and rounds of WRC, it almost amounted to a complete program. Even if the team preferred to communicate by talking about the entire championship, it was always clear to me that after the 24 Hours of Le Mans I will not continue at the same pace. The pilot Toyota a décidé de délaisser le proto LMP2, mais cela ne veut pas dire qu’il va revenir à plein temps en rally. " I will not compete in the summer events (Estonia and Finland, Editor’s note), but I have regularly said that I would happily return to New Zealand. There is nothing completely fixed, but we should make this move. I am fortunate to be in a situation that allows us to adapt quickly when necessary. » If he did not want to reveal his intentions concerning rounds like Ypres, the Acropolis or Catalunya, the Haut-Alpine confirmed that he would go to Japan (November 9-13). “ I always said I wanted to run therehe recalled. I get great support from the team and we have a lot of fans there. The last two years the pandemic prevented us from doing it so I hope to achieve it this season. »
