TOYOTA GAZOO Racing goes for glory on home roads finale
TOYOTA GAZOO Racing World Rally Team will target a successful finish to the 2024 FIA World Rally Championship season on home roads at Rally Japan on November 21-24.
With wins in seven of the 12 rallies held so far in a closely-fought season, TGR-WRT enters the final round with the chance to claim a fourth consecutive manufacturers’ championship title. Aiming to overhaul a difference of 15 points, the team can target another maximum score across the event – similar to the one it achieved two rallies ago in Chile – knowing that such a result would be enough to take the crown.
It will try to repeat the 1-2-3 finish it achieved at last year’s Rally Japan, which was the second edition to be held on narrow and twisting asphalt roads in the forest-covered mountains of the Aichi and Gifu prefectures. In demanding conditions including heavy rain, Elfyn Evans claimed the victory ahead of team-mate Sébastien Ogier and both return this year together with local hero Takamoto Katsuta, who won nine stages in 2023 and heads home off the back of a strong showing at last month’s Central European Rally.
