The result sealed a remarkable season in which Toyota celebrated its second consecutive FIA World Rally manufacturers\u2019 championship\u00a0title and the team achieved a clean sweep of the drivers and co-drivers titles, recording seven wins in a total of 13 races.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The return of Rally Japan to the WRC calendar for the first time since 2010 created an exciting challenge for teams, drivers and co-drivers, with an entirely new event held on demanding and twisting asphalt roads in the mountains of the Aichi and Gifu prefectures. Face with an unfamiliar route and difficult weather conditions, Toyota\u2019s GR YARIS Rally1 Hybrid Electric Vehicle rose to the challenge and performed strongly throughout the event, winning a total of 11 stages.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Toyota-@-WRC-Rally-Japan-2_ssict_1200_800.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Toyota-@-WRC-Rally-Japan-2_ssict_1200_800-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"Toyota @ WRC - Rally Japan - 2_ssict_1200_800\" class=\"wp-image-38340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Toyota-@-WRC-Rally-Japan-2_ssict_1200_800-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Toyota-@-WRC-Rally-Japan-2_ssict_1200_800-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Toyota-@-WRC-Rally-Japan-2_ssict_1200_800-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Toyota-@-WRC-Rally-Japan-2_ssict_1200_800-1080x720.webp 1080w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Toyota-@-WRC-Rally-Japan-2_ssict_1200_800.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TOYOTA GAZOO Racing WRC Challenge Program driver Takamoto Katsuta and his co-driver Aaron Johnston ended the first day of stages in fifth overall in the No. 18 Toyota GR YARIS Rally1 Hybrid Electric Vehicle, just over 20 seconds away from the lead. Katsuta moved up into fourth place during the second day\u2019s first stage and tried to keep the pressure on in the fight for a podium place through the rest of the day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a long and challenging final group of stages still to come, Katsuta\u2019s consistent driving in the No. 18 Toyota GR YARIS Rally1 Hybrid Electric Vehicle was rewarded when he gained third place in the final day\u2019s second stage. Heavy rain made for treacherous conditions during the remainder of the event, but Katsuta safely made it through to clinch his second podium place of the season at his home rally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Akio Toyoda, President of Toyota Motor Corporation and TGR Team Founder,<\/strong>&nbsp;commented: \u201cTo Takamoto, congratulations and thank you for standing on the podium in our home rally!

As a rally fan, I am truly impressed that this experience, which I have longed for, has become a reality. Thank you to the team and the crews who had already clinched the championship at the previous round in Spain, they gave it their all for Toyota fans in Japan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TOYOTA GAZOO Racing (TGR) also demonstrated two new concept cars during its home rally. The GR YARIS Rally2 Concept, a concept car being developed according to the Rally2 regulations, was unveiled for the first time at Rally Japan.
