Rovanpera shines in Rally of Croatia rain and fog
Kalle Rovanpera battled through rain and dense fog to lead the Rally of Croatia on Friday as the young Finn looks to keep his lead of the world championship.
The 21-year-old Toyota driver led after the day's eight stages with the Hyundai pair of Thierry Neuville of Belgium and 2019 world champion Ott Tanak of Estonia just behind.
Rovanpera, who won last time out in Sweden, opened the day's action and swept to victory in six stages.
"Really tough conditions. Even more foggy than during the morning and there was a few kms of full fog," he tweeted.
"I just tried keep my pace and make no mistakes. We had to have the heater on for mist so it's quite hot in the car!"
