[双语简报-WRC][拉特瓦拉：老板我，要自己上啦！]
拉特瓦拉，这位18次WRC分站冠军得主，丰田车队经理，计划在下月的2023赛季芬兰站上，驾驶今年的GR 雅力士Rally1赛车，重返拉力赛最高殿堂。
The 18-time WRC rally winner and Toyota WRC boss is set to make a competitive return to rallying’s top flight with an outing at Rally Finland in a 2023 specification GR Yaris Rally1 next month.
虽然拉特瓦拉已经计划在赛前进行一日测试，芬兰车手依旧空出时间，参加了古德伍德赛车节，跑了跑当地著名的2.5公里拉力赛段，得到了宝贵的额外试车机会。
While Latvala is scheduled to conduct a pre-event test day in the car before the rally, the Finn logged some valuable seat time at this week’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, which included runs through the event’s 2.5km Forest rally stage.
和拉特瓦拉一同参加赛车节的还有他的前队友，2003年世界冠军皮特·索伯格。
Latvala was also joined in the car by former team-mate and 2003 world champion Petter Solberg.
“这梦帮助我在测试前更好得熟悉赛车，这样等到真正的测试日，就不用多花时间在理解赛车上了。”
“It will help to get the feeling of the car before the test so that when I come to the test I don't lose time to just understanding the car.”
自从2019赛季后退役以来，现年38岁的芬兰人对去年刚刚引入的新规混动赛车还很陌生。
After retiring from full-time driving in the WRC at the end of 2019, the 38-year-old is new to championship’s hybrid cars that were introduced last year.
在谈及赛车驾驶感受时，拉特瓦拉表示，他被活动系统的灵敏高效深深惊艳到了。
Reflecting on driving the car, Latvala admitted he was impressed and surprised by the effectiveness of the hybrid boost.
“那必须是混动系统，我太喜欢了。混动提速工作时，这冲击就好像是老奥迪Quattro的涡轮增压那样生猛。”拉特瓦拉补充道。
“I must say the boost, I’m really impressed. When the kick comes it feels like an old Audi Quattro when the turbo boost comes in," he added.
“赛车驾驶起来很容易，不像以前那么顿挫。和20年前比，悬挂也很优秀。”
“This car is so easy to drive and you don’t feel the bumps like you used to. The suspension is at a really high level compared to WRC cars 20 years ago.
“我还没正式开着这车跑过赛段，而且跟着皮特跑，我也不能很慢吧，当让你也不能撞车，这就会刺激我，让我可以更快的适应赛车。”
“I have never really driven it on a stage and to go with Petter I knew I couldn’t show that I was very slow and at the same time you can’t crash, so you have to find a way to adapt to the car quickly.
