Toyotas Takamoto kommer till Sverige med en sjätteplats i premiären.
Takamoto Katsuta och hans co-driver Aaron Johnston blev till slut sexa i Rallye Monte Carlo.
På Power stage blev det en dock en 22:a plats och den japansk-irländska duon kommer säkerligen till Rally Sweden med förhoppningar om revanch.
Takamoto Katsuta inför Rally Sweden 2023 (engelska)
– I’m really excited for Rally Sweden. Driving on snow feels very familiar and comfortable for me and I really like these conditions. Being one of the team’s three nominated drivers will maybe bring a little bit more pressure than I’m used to but this position is where I have really wanted to be.
– I’m sure there will be challenging moments but I will try to manage them and bring good points for the team. I will just do my best and this is no different to before. In testing on snow the feeling in the car has been incredibly good;
– I would say the team has made quite a big step since one year ago and hopefully this gives us more confidence in Sweden. Of course, the other teams are also improving and developing so we will need to be ‘full attack’!”
