The Toyota Yaris WRC is a World Rally Car designed by Toyota Gazoo Racing WRT to compete in the World Rally Championship.[7] The car is based on the Vitz-based XP130 Toyota Yaris, and is the first car Toyota have competed with in the WRC since withdrawing from the championship at the end of the 1999 season to focus on their Le Mans Prototype and Formula One programmes. The car is currently being driven by Ott Tänak.[4][6], Jari-Matti Latvala and Kris Meeke.[8]
The car entered its testing and development phase in March 2014,[9] ahead of its début in the 2017 season.[10] Development and operation of the cars will be overseen by four-time World Drivers' Champion Tommi Mäkinen,[11] and entered under the banner of Toyota Gazoo Racing WRT. The car made its first public appearance in May 2016 during testing in Palokka-Puuppola, with Mäkinen and Juho Hänninen driving.[12]
There were 3 Finnish drivers in the Toyota Gazoo Racing team during the 2017 WRC season – Juho Hänninen, Esapekka Lappi and Jari-Matti Latvala.
Before the 2017 season, Sebastian Ogier evaluated the Yaris, and in 2018 Juho Hänninen was eventually replaced by Ott Tänak.[6] In 2019 Esapekka Lappi[13] moved to Citroën and was replaced by Kris Meeke.
