It is Wednesday today, and that means there’s only 1 more week to go for Rally Hokkaido. On next Wednesday, 18th of September, Rally HQ at Obihiro will open its door for Rally Hokkaido 2019 and competitors will gather there for the Documentation.
This year, one of our familiar drivers, Mr. Mike Young (Cusco Racing) will bear car#1 place on his brand-new Toyota C-HR.
Yes, you read it correctly. Toyota C-HR.
Carrosser, who owns and operates Cusco Racing, has built a new rally car based on Toyota C-HR. Its dimension is designed to fit APRC AP4 regulations but it received TRD-8AR engine, 2000cc turbo racing engine developed by TRD based on Lexus 8AR-FTS.
During the past events, Young has driven another Carrosser’s original rally car, Toyota Vitz 4WD, and made tremendous effort in improving the car’s performance. And much of those experiences are reflected on the designing/building the C-HR. We cannot miss the debut rally of the car, and Young’s performance with the new car.
