This move reshapes the competitive landscape, featuring two separate teams and innovative Rally1 car models that comply with new technical regulations. The lineup includes at least three world champions: two-time titleholder Rovanpera, 2019 champion Tanak, and reigning champion Elfyn Evans. Evans leads the Toyota Racing team alongside last year's top contenders, Oliver Solberg and Sami Pajari, who finished second and third in the 2026 standings. They will pilot the GR Celica Rally1 car, marking its comeback after dominating the 1980s and ‘90s. Tanak, returning to Toyota after a stint with Hyundai, will race the GR Yaris Rally1 alongside co-driver Martin Jarveoja and two-time WRC winner Takamoto Katsuta. Tanak expresses excitement about this new chapter, recalling positive memories from his previous tenure with the team. Rovanpera, along with co-driver Jonne Halttunen, will compete in a partial campaign after stepping away from the WRC in 2025. This lineup signals a promising future for Toyota as they gear up to tackle the challenges ahead in the evolving world of rallying. #WRC #Toyota2027 #Rovanpera #Tanak #WRCHighlights #Rally #Motorsport #sports #podcast 🏆 More Wrc podcasts: https://sports-podcasts.com/en/sport/wrc/ 🎧 Listen to the full playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoWFEoIqbbFvypZ5JaUPiUcQ7dMN-OW5P
