Intense speculation surrounding the future of Kalle Rovanpera has once again ignited across the international rallying paddock following a fresh report from Italian outlet TuttoRally claiming the Finnish star is poised for a sensational comeback.
According to RallyJournal, the report suggests that the double world champion is set to make a high-profile return to Toyota as a part-time driver after spending a year away exploring alternative racing disciplines on asphalt circuits.
The Italian website claims that the Finn would contest a selective six-round program in the WRC for the 2027 season, although the publication did not disclose specific details regarding which exact rallies would feature on his limited schedule.
Despite the intriguing claims, the Italian outlet is not traditionally recognized among rallying's primary established news breakers, and the circulating reports have notably lacked confirmation from other major motorsport media sources.
Addressing the ongoing chatter about his driver's future, Toyota team principal Jari-Matti Latvala recently shared his perspective with Rallit.fi during the high-stakes service park atmosphere at Rally Sardinia.
Latvala admitted that his personal impression from interactions with the driver is that he remains enthusiastic and definitely still harbors a strong competitive desire to push rally cars to the limit.
Reflecting on recent circuit racing outings, the Finnish team boss noted that rallying appears to hold a more compelling appeal for him, though he was quick to emphasize that no binding agreements have been finalized yet.
With winter testing preparations and driver market shuffles looming large, the team leadership maintains a watchful stance, noting that developments will unfold naturally as the off-season approaches.
According to inside information gathered by Rallit.fi, the championship-winning squad is widely anticipated to officially unveil its complete driver roster for the upcoming campaign in early November.
