Toyota Rally2 car to make WRC debut in Monte Carlo
Toyota has developed a Rally2 version of the GR Yaris, which has now received homologation from the FIA, allowing Toyota to enter the customer rally car market. The GR Yaris Rally2 has been primarily designed for customer rallying and aims to bridge the gap between motorsport vehicles and production vehicles. The car has undergone extensive development and testing, covering more than 15,000 kilometers, including participation in the Japanese Rally Championship. Toyota’s WRC team principal, Jari-Matti Latvala, has been actively involved in its development and has driven the car to victory at Rally Hokkaido. The first GR Yaris Rally2 will be delivered to ROOKIE Racing, led by Chairman Akio Toyoda, and four teams will debut the car at the Monte Carlo rally.
