Kalle Rovanpera says he is open minded about his return to competitive motorsport next year as the two-time world rally champion plans to discuss his next steps with Toyota.
Rovanpera has received the green light to resume his motorsport career after recovering from a health issue that forced the Finn to abandon plans to make the leap from rallying to circuit racing in Super Formula this year.
But last weekend Rovanpera jumped back behind the wheel of a Toyota Corolla GT AE86 rally car when he joined his world ***** le winning co-driver Jonne Halttunen for demonstration runs on the Harju stage at Rally Finland.
The outing in a car owned by Halttunen was Rovanpera's first drive in rally machinery since stepping away from the World Rally Championship at the end of 2025.
"It was so much fun," the 25-year-old told Motorsport.com. "It has been nice to come see the service park and all the old friends and team-mates. It's nice to be spectating a bit.
