The #Toyota GAZOO #racing World #Rally Team will embark on its second season in the FIA World #Rally Championship season at Rallye Monte-Carlo (January 25-28), with a strong driver line-up and an improved #Toyota #yaris #WRC. Ott Tänak, a two-time winner last year, will make his #Toyota GAZOO #racing debut alongside #jarimattilatvala and #esapekkalappi, who drove the #yaris #WRC to victories during its development season in 2017. All three aim to follow in the footsteps of their Team Principal Tommi Mäkinen, a four-time winner of both the #WRC title and of Rallye Monte-Carlo.
Rallye Monte-Carlo is the oldest #Rally in the world and also one of the most famous. It is known for its changeable weather conditions, which can vary from dry asphalt to snow and ice, sometimes in the same stage. This means tyre choices can make a big difference, as can the ice-note crews who provide the teams with last-minute information on the stage conditions.
The #Rally begins in the glamorous surrounds of Casino Square in Monte Carlo prior to the opening two stages held in the dark on Thursday night: a demanding start to the new season. Friday is the longest day of the #Rally with more than 150 kilometres of action, spread over three stages that are all run twice either side of service in Gap. After five more stages on Saturday, the #Rally returns to Monaco before four final tests on Sunday, including two passes of the iconic Col de Turini.
