Behind the Rally1s, the spectacle should be there in WRC2 where all the big names responded. In particular, we are awaiting the big debut of the new Toyota Yaris Rally2 in the world championship. Four Japanese machines appear on the entry list. Doubt remained as to whether 4th would ultimately go to Stéphane Lefebvre. The other 3 are for Sami Pajari, Bryan Bouffier and Jan Solans.
Skoda is also expected at the forefront with Oliver Solberg who recently returned for a second season with the Czech manufacturer. Finally, Citroën will also always have a say with Yohan Rossel but also its latest recruit, and not the least, in the person of Nikolay Gryazin.
