So far, Kalle Rovanperä, Toyota, has been the power of the World Rally Championship in the Canary Islands.

When there were 12 special stages in the race, Rovanperä had won all of them. Before Saturday’s late night Mickey Mouse Round at the basketball stadium Rovanperä led the race with 45.7 seconds before a teammate Sebastien Ogier. Rovanperä drove the bottom time for all the first 12 special stages of the race.
In the early part of the season, Rovanperä was frustrated with Hankook’s tires, but with a clean asphalt, the tire manufacturer’s rubber gums were perfect for the Finn.
– Well, it seems to be going, Rovanperä comments coolly.
– Of course, nothing is ever in the glove, but there are no question marks anymore. All you have to do is continue to do, Rovanperä said.
Rovanperä has been left to 57 points after a difficult start Elfy’s Evanswho drives in the canary in third place. While the perfect point pot is tickling Rovanperä, you also have to keep in mind.
– Let’s hope that tomorrow will be good times for your own driving. Then if it becomes more difficult, you also have to think about the overall picture. You don’t like anything foolish, Rovanperä pointed out.
The asphalt rings of a hard mixture have been reminded of Rovanperä. In the gravel race of Kenya, Rovanperä felt that the tires were not sitting on his cheek.
– You have to have a positive feeling about the tire as well. At least fits into my style, the Finnish star acknowledged.
Rovanperä was at an excellent pace, especially on Saturday’s run-on, with a track ride. On Sunday, the same delicacy will be coming.
– Tomorrow is probably a bit like yesterday and what was the last special test today. A pretty fast road is coming. If I remember correctly, I should fit really well tomorrow, Rovanperä summed up.
– On your own driving, the pace is pretty good. Let’s hope that tomorrow will continue the same way.
