Meanwhile, Kalle Rovanperä just announced he will only run part-time in 2024! :shocked: To "recharge the batteries" ahead of another title assault in 2025.

I can get it, he's already super successful, a good opportunity to do more racing for fun back home in Finland, staying fresh without all the travelling.

He's 23 and a double world champion. He can get any seat he wants in WRC. Part-time sounds like a good opportunity to avoid burn-out whilst keeping your hand in.

It's also a good way to remind yourself of priorities. He may find he misses it and it reignites passion, or find he doesn't miss it and want to look at other avenues. He's a young guy - he should take advantage of his fortunate position.

Exactly that.

So, will 2024 be Hyundai's year? lol, they will probably fluff it harder than ever.
