Toyota Gazoo Racing WRC championship campaign

Overview

Toyota Gazoo Racing achieved a historic milestone in the FIA World Rally Championship by securing three consecutive victories. Following wins in Estonia and Finland, driver Sami Bajari and co-driver Marco Salminen won the Rally Paraguay using a Toyota GR Yaris Rally1. Despite facing environmental challenges such as high temperatures, mud, and a water leak that briefly dropped them to seventh place, the crew recovered to win by a margin of 25.8 seconds.

Following this success, the team shifted focus to Rally Chile. Toyota Gazoo Racing entered the event aiming to secure the manufacturers’ championship, holding a 173-point lead with 180 points remaining in the season. In the drivers’ championship, Elfyn Evans maintained a 20-point lead over Sami Pajari. Due to a collarbone fracture sustained in Paraguay, co-driver Aaron Johnston was replaced by James Fulton for the Chilean competition.
