Jari-Matti Latvala is happy to see the positive development curve continues every WRC event so far in 2017 and said following this trend is the goal as he heads to the Tour de Corse.

With the positions of the WRC championship Latvala looks second seat, but only eight points leader Sebastien Ogier and former teammate Volkswagen entering the round base Corsica.
After pre-event test the Finn moves in the Tour de Corse with increased confidence, but has ruled out setting targets at the start of the Toyota rally program in just his fourth WRC event since his return.
We had a very good test completed 380 kilometers over two days, a day on the narrow, bumpy roads and on the second day of the fast, abrasive roads, Latvala said the rally, we have both, so I think we found a good SEt- between these two conditions, trying some different settings of the shock.
We already have an idea about the potential of the car on asphalt after Monte Carlo, and my feeling with the car is now much better than it was after the test of Monte However, our rivals will be very strong, as we have seen already all gatherings so far, so we take nothing for granted.
We just stay focused on our mission of improving the car with every rally so far, this is achieved, so I am happy.
Latvala also noticed how the Tour of Corsica is of additional importance for both rally and the Finns as was the scene where Henri Toivonen and co-driver Sergio Cresto died in 1986, which actually triggered the ban on cars group B and ramp safety measures WRC.
Corsica is a special event for me when I won there it meant a lot to me because for the Finns, it was always a difficult place, after the accident with Henri Toivonen in 1986, he said, as a nation, we used to do very well there now I think it's different, and of course the rally is much safer.
Latvala finished the Tour of Corsica shakedown fourth overall for Toyota, one second Ogier pace-setter in the Ford M-Sport.
