Toyota revives Celica in WRC with two teams for 2027
Toyota is reviving the Celica nameplate in the World Rally Championship and will field two factory teams, with Ott Tänak and Kalle Rovanperä. The Japanese manufacturer has prepared twelve examples of its Rally1 car for the 2027 season. Toyota also expects Sébastien Ogier to contest only two or three WRC rallies in 2027, as Ogier was absent from the team presentation in Finland. The sub-events emphasize the program and Rally1 production in Japan, the return of the Celica name for a racing season in the United States, the crews in Finland and Estonia, and Ogier's reduced participation in France.
