Takamoto Katsuta Rally Estonial

Soome autoralli MM-etapi eel sõidetud testikatsel näitas kõige kiiremat minekut Takamoto Katsuta (Toyota), kelle päeva parimaks ajaks jäi kolmandal läbimisel sõidetud 2.11,7. Jaapanlane edestas Hyundai pilooti Adrien Fourmaux’d ning Toyota värvides debüteerivat Oliver Solbergi 0,9 sekundiga.

Fourmaux’ ja Solbergi parimaks tulemuseks jäi võrdne aeg 2.12,6. Neljanda aja sõitis välja MM-sarja liider Elfyn Evans (Toyota), kes läbis 4,12-kilomeetrise Ruuhimäki testikatse 2.13,4-ga.

Viienda koha sai Hyundai eest ühekordse stardi tegev kodupubliku lemmik Esapekka Lappi, kelle parim aeg oli 2.13,6. Sama tulemuse sõitis välja ka värske Rally Estonia võitja Sami Pajari (Toyota). Seitsmendaks jäi valitsev maailmameister Thierry Neuville (Hyundai) ajaga 2.13,8.

Parima Fordi tulemuse eest hoolitses lätlane Mārtiņš Sesks, kes oli kümnes ajaga 2.14,1. Kaheksakordne maailmameister Sébastien Ogier lõpetas testikatse 11. kohaga, tema parimaks ajaks jäi 2.14,7.

Katsuta ütles pärast esimest läbimist, et soovib Soomes kõrgesse mängu sekkuda. „Loomulikult tahan selle ralli võita. See on minu jaoks justkui teine koduralli ning üks hooaja kõige keerulisemaid võistlusi,“ sõnas jaapanlane.

Rally Estonial karjääri esimese MM-etapivõidu teeninud Pajari tõdes, et kodurallil edu kordamine lihtne ei saa olema. „See on täiesti uus väljakutse ja kindlasti mitte lihtsam kui Eestis. Kodurallil sõitmine on alati eriline ning loodetavasti on kiirus olemas,“ rääkis soomlane.

Toyota roolis oma esimest Soome MM-rallit tegev Solberg ütles, et ootab nädalavahetust suure põnevusega. „See saab olema suurepärane kogemus. Esimest korda selle autoga neil teedel sõita on suur väljakutse, kuid aitab kaasa, et paljud katsed on minu jaoks uued. Püüan võimalikult kiiresti hea rütmi leida.“

Hyundai ridades kaasa tegev Lappi märkis, et on võistluseks põhjalikult valmistunud. „Keskmised kiirused saavad olema väga suured. Olen palju videoid vaadanud ja arvutis tööd teinud, et mõista, kus ma näiteks Eestis aega kaotasin. Pea on küll infost paks, kuid energiat jagub veel.“

Ogier tunnistas omalt poolt, et nädal algas kurva uudisega, sest tema pikaaegne kaardilugeja Vincent Landais ei saa seekord kaasa teha. „Mõtleme Vincentile ja tema perele. Olen tänulik, et Julien Ingrassia nõustus viimasel hetkel appi tulema. Ta on endiselt sama täpne kui varem ning mina olen siin selleks, et võidu nimel võidelda.“
