Toyota explains its strategy for the 2027 World Rally Championship, saying it will run two different Rally1 car models and split its six-driver line-up into two separate teams. Across coverage, Toyota is described as homologating new GR Celica and GR Yaris body shapes that fit the sport’s upcoming technical regulations.
Several outlets also say Toyota’s 2027 effort includes the return of Kalle Rovanperä and Ott Tänak, framing the announcement as a “bumper” or six-car line-up. The reports link Toyota’s vehicle approach—two models with new homologated bodies—to a structure that places drivers into two teams, implying a broader operational change for the next WRC cycle.
While the core details are consistent, different outlets vary in how they lead the story, focusing either on the unusual two-model strategy or on the headline driver return and the size of Toyota’s line-up.
