In parallel with his return to the World ChampionshipEndurance effective since 2012, the brand Toyota currently working on the side of rally. If the GT86 CS-R3 is already a reality that drivers will be able to afford to drive in the R3 category, the Yaris in version WRC is currently only a development car. A version that we have seen more and more in testing for several months. After the Italian land, it is on the asphalt of Eastern France that the Finn Sebastian Lindholm, cousin of the double world rally champion Marcus Grönholm, competed at the end of summer 2014.

A “WRC” version of the GT86 built by the team of four-time world rally champion Tommi Mäkinen, was seen in Finland last August, and was grip by the big boss of Toyota Akio Toyoda. Nippon immediately declared that the rally was in the DNA of the brand. Before an official return to the world championship?
