    What about this news made you want to share it? The title sounds like this isn’t that big of a deal, but there must be a reason why it’s newsworthy.

      Kalle Rovanperä won the 2022 championship in a dramatic battle and became the youngest champion ever (22 years old), then followed that up by winning again in 2023 in a dominant fashion. It was a surprise at least to me that he's taking most of 2024 off - it feels like a conspicuous gap at the top, especially if he puts together a winning drive in Sweden.

        Thanks! I should’ve thought of this myself… I’m using the Orion browser on iOS with Firefox Focus as content blocker. It’s the first time I’ve seen such a message pop up.
