– I haven’t seen many friends, or probably the first one who would have done so much for the rally.
Rallies Tuukka from Kauppinen Over the past week, all the super words have been used. Still, you should stop at the description above.
The words are Mikko Markkula. Nearly 130 World Championships including Teemu Suninen, Andreas Mikkelsen and Juho Hänninen Markkula, who reads the notes alongside the notes, is one of the most experienced charts in Finland.
In addition, Markkula has often been in the selection jury when AKK has chosen the next blue -white star of the future.
From that path towards the peak, for example, the Toyota factory driver has risen to the World Series season Sami Pajari.
In his words, Markkula does not underestimate Pajar or other top promises. For example, at a young age, Pajari stands out through his dedication.
Indeed, Markkula’s words describe how exceptional talent Tuukka Kauppinen really is. Winning the legendary mountain rally as the youngest driver in history was no coincidence.
– Diligence and infinite humility to work come up. They also appear in daily everyday life. It may sound rough when Tuukka says he is not happy, even though times are what. Comments are music for your own ear, a young guy has a great attitude, Markkula describes.
Today, Markkula works as part of her day job in the background of Kauppinen. He is supporting Kauppinen’s career Markku Raution The company’s deputy official and also part of the team that builds Kauppinen’s career.
Still, there is no need to glow your own protector only for work. Kauppinen when he stands out from the mass without praise.
Rally handheld sebastien Loeb’s textbook
The basic idea of rally cars is simple. The purpose is to drive a special road from the launch to the finish as quickly as possible by the car below. The style this is done is always the driver’s own.
The ways in which the style is adapted have changed as the species has evolved.
An all -time rally driver Sebastien loeb revolutionized the sport during his reign. In the past, adjectives “aggressive” and “fierce” were more often associated with driving a rally car, but with the Frenchman, the terms “neat,” restrained “and” accurate “were increasingly added to the style book.
Simplified, Loeb made art about how to borrow bends, to quote the dumb, is also removed.
Of course, I do not directly compare the 18-year-old promise to a nine-time world champion, but there is something in them.
At least when Mikko Markkula asks to describe Tuukka Kauppinen’s “rallying”. The main feature of driving is tranquility.
– Clean, gesture, pretty … there’s nothing extra at any point. So effective, clinical and stylish, such adjectives come to mind, Markkula lists.
It is essential that Kauppinen has found his own style.
– Tuukka believes in his own choices and trusts how to take the car. We do not need to guide or guide him there, Markkula emphasizes.
The style has been found through repetitions.
Expected “Rovan -like” rotation
Kauppinen is only 18 years old but has already been recorded for him to statistical services More than a hundred different rally races since 2021. In 2023 and 2024 Kauppinen won the Finnish Championships in SM4 and SM3.
Above all, he drove 45 rally with different equipment over the years. The cheekless amount reflects what working as a pillage of talent really means.
Moving to the Rally2 car will inevitably affect the number of rallys. Even though Kauppinen’s background is in order, the cashier does not get to the fact that Rally2 could compete as often.
That is why Kauppinen is also likely to run rallies this year on other cars.
The historical victory of the fell rally has not changed the step marks of the year. Kauppinen is only in Sweden, Estonia and Finland for the World Championships.
– Sweden is a study trip. Tuukka has only driven one World Championship. Now we are looking for more data for driving in the World Series, Markkula recalls.
So Kauppinen is not going to Sweden’s snow to do wonders. Kilometers are even more important than victory. For example, with the new tire manufacturer’s Hankook Tires, Kauppinen has only been able to drive for only one short day of the test.
– It would be a good idea to have ice in the hat for the performance targets, even if there are any tires below, Markkula emphasizes.
External expectations for Kauppa will inevitably increase. 18-year-old must be prepared for a quick spin that at the same age has mainly encountered Kalle Rovanperä.
– Certainly attention is growing and international media asks things as “London”. Still, I don’t think Tuukka is the first to stress about these things. He does his own work, in his own style, Markkula ponders.
– It is also good for us, in fact very great.
The Swedish World Rally will be run from 13 to 16 February. And it is followed moment by moment on the Sports website and the app, where you will find performance tracking and all the most talking videos.
