Asphalt form cheers Latvala ahead of Croatia Having won both the last two FIA World Rally Championship rounds featuring asphalt, Toyota Gazoo Racing team principal Jari-Matti Latvala has every reason to be optimistic ahead of the Croatia Rally (22 - 25 April). The Yaris World Rally Car topped the podium at last season’s ACI Rally Monza finale and this year’s opening Rallye Monte-Carlo in the hands of Sébastien Ogier. Another reason for the Finn’s cheer is that his drivers hold three of the top four championship positions – meaning they will take a preferential place in the first day start order at the Zagreb-based sealed-surface third round.
