Kalle Rovanpera was born on October 1, 2000, while his key rival, Marco Bulacia Wilkinson, is three days older.

The Finn got the world talking by winning the Estonian Championship last year, while the South American surprised everyone on his European debut at the Rally Liburna Terra in Italy with a Ford Fiesta R5, finishing sixth.

Both youngsters will use Pirelli tyres to try and beat each other for Under 17 honours on gravel.
