Key Points: 
  • Toyota City, Japan, Aug 6, 2021 - (JCN Newswire) - The TOYOTA GAZOO Racing World Rally Team will target another successful showing on unfamiliar roads when the Toyota Yaris WRC makes its first appearance at a classic event on the European rally calendar: Ypres Rally Belgium (August 13-15).
  • While none of the four Toyota drivers have competed before in Ypres - which is hosting Belgium's first ever WRC round - the event has a rich history dating back to 1965.
  • In that time, it has developed a reputation for its demanding stages on fast and narrow farmland roads around the West Flanders region.
  • These are often lined by large drainage ditches and include numerous junctions, while dirt is frequently dragged onto the road.
