Oliver Solberg has been picked over Takamoto Katsuta to score manufacturer points for Toyota at the WRC season opener.

Toyota has also kept its second manufacturer entry, WRT2, for Sami Pajari.

 

[Fast-Eddie]

Yohan Rossel and Nikolay Gryazin are official drivers of Team Lancia Corse HF in the 2026 World Rally Championship, WRC2 category.

 

[deephouse]

They were already announced mid december, so nothing new here.

 

[Negaiss]

Only surprise is Chris Ingram entry. Probably hopes to have a good result because off others chrasing out.

Oliver Solberg has been picked over Takamoto Katsuta to score manufacturer points for Toyota at the WRC season opener.

Toyota has also kept its second manufacturer entry, WRT2, for Sami Pajari.

I suppose that makes Solberg their de facto number 3 driver, at least for now.

 

[Fast-Eddie]

They were already announced mid december, so nothing new here.

Just the entry is by Team Lancia Corse HF, not PH Sport (as previously with Citroen).

 

[Fast-Eddie]

Only surprise is Chris Ingram entry. Probably hopes to have a good result because off others chrasing out.

Not a surprise as he lives in Monaco and has been hinting at an entry for weeks. The only real news was the car he'll use - a GR Yaris - but nothing to show which team will run it.

 

[Dimitris]

That's PH Sport still

 

[27Stan]

It means Lancia are serious about tying their brand to the sport, rather than it all being out of convenience and coincidence.

Next year will be better
