The GR Yaris Rally2 marks TGR's venture into customer rallying, and Chairman Akio Toyoda who goes by the alias 'Morizo,' envisions it as a key step in connecting motorsport and production vehicles through rally competition, potentially enhancing the global rally market.
With the homologation certificate secured, the GR Yaris Rally2 is set to be distributed globally. The first unit will be delivered to Rookie Racing, led by Morizo, and four teams are gearing up to showcase the car at Rallye Monte-Carlo from 25- to 28-January.

The GR Yaris Rally2 is a departure from TGR's typical approach of developing cars for their own victories. Instead, this rally car is specifically designed for customers aiming to win, marking the beginning of a new challenge for the team.
Having debuted at Rally Japan in 2022, where Morizo personally tested its performance, the GR Yaris Rally2 has undergone extensive testing and covered over 15,000 competition kilometres in various conditions and surfaces.

Feedback from professional drivers, emerging talents, and customer drivers has shaped the development process. Moving forward, TGR aims to gather feedback from customer motorsport competitors in championships like WRC to continuously enhance the car's performance and make it 'ever better.'
