Toyota Corolla Gr Rally
The Toyota GR Corolla takes inspiration from the automaker's successful World Rally Championship (WRC) team, but the closest it's gotten to a stage so far is the parking lot. That's about to. A GR Corolla RC2 rally car developed by TOYOTA GAZOO Racing will compete in the American Rally Association (ARA) National Championship.
2026 could bring a four-way ARA rally fight between Mini, Honda, Subaru, and Toyota with the debut of this new GR Corolla rally car. The Corolla-such as demonstrated by the TE25 Corolla, which achieved Toyota's first World Rally Championship victory *1 in 1973, and the TE27 Corolla Levin, which won the 1000 Lakes Rally *2 in 1975-is a model with driving performance that has been honed and evolved through participation in motorsports. At the same time, against a backdrop of responding to customers' diverse usage.
More than a quarter of a century since the last one, Toyota has developed a new Corolla rally car - and this one's coming to America. Toyota Gazoo Racing has created the GR Corolla RC2 with world championship stars Jari-Matti Latvala and Juho Hänninen running the car's test program. The all-new Corolla will make its ARA debut at the 100 Acre Wood Rally in March, with US off.
Toyota Gazoo Racing (TGR) has confirmed the development of a new GR Corolla RC2 rally car, which will compete in the American Rally Association (ARA) National Championship, bringing back a historic rivalry with Subaru on American soil. Toyota has confirmed that the Corolla will be making an official return to rally racing after a nearly 30-year sabbatical. The GR Corolla RC2 has been tapped to compete in the American Rally Association (ARA) championship for the 2026 season.
Its first foray into American rallying will take place in March at the 100 Acre Wood Rally in Missouri. American Seth Quintero will pilot the vehicle. Subaru has dominated ARA for years.
Toyota plans to change that with a GR Corolla rally car and battle battle. Toyota will bring the Corolla name back to rallying with its newly-developed GR Corolla RC2 rally car, which will compete in the American Rally Association (ARA) National Championship next year. The GR (for Toyota's Gazoo Racing specialists) Toyota delivers near rally car fun in a safe, comfortable (for two), semi-practical, street legal hot hatch.
Fun and driving enjoyment is the reason to buy a GR Corolla.
