WRC 2022: Rally Estonia

The WRC 22 season continues with the Rally Estonia event as Toyota Gazoo Racing's gunning for another win with their improved GR Yaris Rally1 machines while championship leader Kalle Rovanpera tries to make an impression on Estonia dirt.

The opening stages saw Elfyn Evans blitzing through the lead until Rovanpera caught him by surprise. Maintaining his dominance on Estonian soil, Rovanpera kept trailblazing his way towards victory lane.
