Hi, friends!
One of the best Finnish drivers Esapekka Lappi finished his season as a works driver for Toyota after seven events program with the team.
He lost his drive with M-Sport Ford at the end of 2020 and last year he had only two outings in the WRC2 class with Volkswagen Polo R5 where he outpaced everyone, including last year's WRC2 champion Andreas Mikkelsen. He also got a drive for his home WRC Rally Finland and he did really great which was enough to secure a WRC comeback into the top class.
He scored some podiums this year for Toyota and he hopes that this will be enough for him to secure a drive for 2023, even a partial season deal just like this year.
No one can still say what are the plans of Seb Ogier because these two drivers shared a 3rd car for Toyota.
Anyway, we have an onboard rally video of Lappi with Yaris Rally1 machinery from Power Stage of his home round WRC Rally Finland.
Please enjoy...
