The reigning world champion squad has announced that it will field both of its part-time crews in the same event for the first time this season, on Portugal’s gravel roads from 9-12 May.
Two-time world champion Rovanpera and eight-time WRC title winner Ogier will pilot GR Yaris Rally1 cars alongside full-timers Elfyn Evans and Takamoto Katsuta.

Toyota has so far opted to split the season between its part-time drivers, with Ogier kicking off the year in Monte Carlo where the Frenchman finished second behind Hyundai’s Thierry Neuville.
Ogier is set to return to the wheel in Croatia this week, an event he previously won in 2021.
“I’ve enjoyed my time off since Monte-Carlo and now I’m happy to get back into competition,” said Ogier.
“My test last week was a good chance to get my feeling back in the car, with quite a demanding road: pretty fast with jumps and narrow sections. These are features of the rally as well, but we also know that the weather can be uncertain at this time of year.
