WRC 2022: Rally Sweden

The 2022 World Rally Championship continues with the Rally Sweden event and in the midst of freezing conditions, the wielders of the new-generation rally cars are just getting pumped up, fighting their way to survive until the end of the second outing of this season.

The opening stages saw Kalle Rovanpera snatched Oliver Solberg's lead by surprise and kept going after hours. As Rovanpera's busy dominating the remainder of the event, Elfyn Evans got slapped with a 10-second penalty following his dramatic crash into a snowbank. The rest is history.

Kalle Rovanpera nailed his third career win at the rate of 2:10:44.9, 22 seconds ahead of Hyundai driver Thierry Neuville. Esapekka Lappi finished 3rd.

The next event is at Zagreb for the Croatia Rally from the 21st to the 24th of April, 2022.
