Kalle Rovanperä is third in the third place before the closing day of the Sardinian World Rally.
Saturday in Sardinia offered quite a few jumps in the World Rally. Aop
Sardinia’s fierce gravel has evenly dropped cars out of the game. Only three of the main category drivers have avoided bigger problems over two days.
The same trio will also be at the top of the rally at the end of Saturday. Toyota Sébastien Ogier lead to rally with 11.1 seconds difference Ott Tänakand Kalle Rovanperä Lights in a third place less than a minute from the tip.
Several drivers were in trouble again on Saturday afternoon, when the special stages were run for the second time. Especially the tires were hard when numerous loose stones had risen.
However, Rovanperä stayed away from the problems, which guaranteed him a good setting for the last race day.
– We were able to take advantage of our departure, and the car felt as good as it may seem in such a circumstance without the test. You can’t do it terribly more. But a good day as a whole, Rovanperä summed up.
Does not threaten
Rovanperä has no threats behind him, as the fourth teammate Elfyn Evans It’s just over three and a half minutes from the Finn. Thus, Rovanperä could secure his triple state, but that is not an option.
Namely, on Sunday, there are still a maximum of ten points in the distribution – the five fastest drivers get points based on daily results, and Power Stage, the end of the race, is available for the top five.
Rovanperä described his situation as “disgusting”.
– If the pieces are clear, it’s not so bad. After all, it’s nice that there is a racing ride on Sunday, but tomorrow, especially a new long run is difficult. It is certainly quite soft and in a fierce condition with another stroke, Rovanperä said.
Sunday’s program has two different pieces that are driven twice. Both clips are practically new to the World Series drivers.
“Not even the right path”
Rovanperä gave a silly estimate of Porto San Paolo’s instant, which also performs Power Stage.
– I think it’s a pretty miserable clip. It is just pushed somewhere on the bump tractor, Rovanperä downloaded.
– For the most part, it’s not even the right way. It’s just twisting and curving – really slow and soft, so there are surprises. Tomorrow is not a very enjoyable day.
However, Rovanperä does not intend to spare. The Toyota star in the World Championships needs points for his championship.
– Everything is home. Let’s try to score as much as we get tomorrow.
