Toyota continues its preparation tests

Twelve months ago, Toyota Gazoo Racing constituait encore une inconnue avec sa nouvelle Yaris WRC. The podium won at Rally Monte-Carlo by Jari-Matti Latvala ideally launched the team led by Tommi Mäkinen, who won the following month in Sweden again thanks to the Finn.

To move up a gear this season, Toyota recruited the Estonian Ott Tänak, from M-Sport Ford, et continue le développement de sa Yaris, apparue lors de ces essais hivernaux avec plusieurs nouveautés aérodynamiques, comme une ailette supplémentaire sur les parties latérales du bouclier avant.

The South-East of France once again served as a recent testing base for the Japanese brand, with runs on asphalt after having evolved on snow last December. Three Yaris will be lined up at Monte-Carlo with Latvala, Lappi and Tänak.
