Bottas has taken part in the Arctic Lapland Rally for the past two years. In 2019, Bottas made his rally debut and drove with a M-Sport Ford Fiesta WRC car to a fifth place finish. In January this year, the result was a ninth place after struggling on the opening-stage in a Citroen DS3 WRC car.
The confirmation of Bottas entering the rally has gathered a lot of attention on social media and according to the journalist Jarno Saari, Bottas will once again be driving with a WRC car in the rally, but, this time it could be with factory support of either from Hyundai Motorsport or Toyota Gazoo Racing.
“If the rally will go ahead, then I will be at the start line, that is the current plan and hopefully it is arranged.” Bottas told in a interview with the Finnish publication Ilta-Sanomat.
Earlier this year, Kalle Rovanperä, the current Toyota Gazoo Racing factory driver won the unofficial rally in the WRC class, normally this rally attracts several well-known names from all around the world so we could expect a few of the top runners from WRC to join next season as well.
