Toyota selects Ogier for WRC’s visit to Croatia
Toyota has confirmed that the eight-time world champion Sébastien Ogier will drive one of their factory GR Yaris Rally 1 cars at the WRC event from 18-21 April where he’ll join Elfyn Evans and Takamoto Katsuta. Sébastien Ogier’s part-time WRC season started in January in Monte Carlo, finishing second to Thierry Neuville. He will not compete in the Safari Rally Kenya, leaving Kalle Rovanpera to drive the third GR Yaris. Last year, Ogier won the Safari Rally, and in 2021, he won the WRC Croatia round, narrowly defeating team-mate Elfyn Evans. Toyota’s rival Hyundai is expected to reveal their driver lineup for Croatia soon, possibly featuring Andreas Mikkelsen replacing Esapekka Lappi.
