WRC points leader Rovanpera has labelled the Acropolis Rally as one of the 'worst' of his career, and is focused on fighting back in New Zealand.
It is understood that set-up struggles can be partly attributed to a difficult pre-event test, where two of the team's drivers ran off the road, while inclement weather meant Toyota had one full test day at its disposal in the correct conditions.
"Of course, I have done many good and bad weekends, but this is one of the worst ones," said Rovanpera, who can now wrap up the title in New Zealand if he scores eight points more than Tanak. "We tried to do our best in the powerstage. It wasn't easy, I had to push everywhere including in the rough parts but we managed to get some good points so the situation isn't so bad for the championship. Now we need to concentrate on the next one and come back much stronger."
"It was a poor weekend but it wasn't catastrophic," said Latvala after witnessing Toyota's manufacturers' title lead reduced to 63 points over Hyundai following the latter's 1-2-3 in Greece.
