Toyota Gazoo Racing has announced that they will enter the Team manager of TGR-WRT and former WRC driver, Jari-Matti Latvala to Rally Hokkaido as a driver, along with Norihiko Katsuta, father of Taka Katsuta, and Tomoyuki Shinkai, both regular drivers competing Japanese Rally Championship. Juho Hänninen will co-drive alongside with JML.
Some of you might recall that Latvala recorded stage wins on both runs of Pawse Kamuy Reverse stages and one Rikubetsu stages, back in 2007, when he was behind the steering wheel of Ford Focus WRC in WRC Rally Japan held in Tokachi subregion. This rally must be good fit for him, and we are more than excited and thrilled to his entry.
TGR also announced that they will bring Toyota GR Yaris Rally1 HYBRID to the Rally Hokkaido, and gives us demonstration driving by two hero drives – Juha Kankkunen and Morizo!
Come and join us to witness the performance of those super stars and the GR Yaris Rally1 HYBRID in Rally Hokkaido!
