Wales’ hottest rally driver Elfyn Evans has kept his seat in the Toyota Gazoo WRC team for 2023.
The Dolgellau driver will use the latest updated Yaris Rally1 car campaigned with Scott Martin and is the team’s second driver behind World Champion Kalle Rovanperä.
WRC Team Founder and President Akio Toyodasaid, “Though Elfyn and Scott had a difficult year in 2022, we will do our utmost to support them by building a strong car for a year in which we can achieve stronger results. So let’s make it a great year together!”
Elfyn Evans (above) said of his delight at remaining in the World Championship winning team, “I’m excited to be heading into my fourth year with TOYOTA GAZOO Racing.
“We obviously enjoyed some great success already in our first two years together, and although 2022 didn’t deliver quite what I was hoping for on my side, I’m very happy to be part of such a successful team and one which is working so hard to improve all the time. Hopefully we can make 2023 a much stronger year on a personal side and continue the great success of the team.”
Toyota Gazoo dominated the 2021 and 2022 WRC series and will be going for a treble in 2023.
