After almost eight weeks away from their World Rally Cars, the fastest rally drivers on the planet can’t wait to start round three – the all-new Croatia Rally. “Like all new Tarmac rallies, I expect it will be very tricky. “I know Croatia is a beautiful place, so I’m looking forward to seeing it,” said Toyota’s seven-time world champion. “We have new tyres for this year, so the adaptation for that will make it more complicated to go to a new asphalt rally, I’m sure. Ogier’s team-mate Kalle Rovanperä was also pleased to see Croatia coming in for the first time. I don’t know much about the event or the stages themselves, but I’m sure Croatia is going to be a very nice place.”.
