Republic of San Marino.
The world rally championship will be represented at the highest levels also this year at Rallylegend, taking place on 12-15 October.
Toyota Gazoo Racing WRT has planned and confirmed its attendance at the San Marino event. Team principal Jari Matti Latvala, a long-time supporter of Rallylegend, will take to the wheel of the Toyota GR Yaris Rally1, the star of WRC, the current constructors’ world champion and leader of the 2023 WRC.
Pirelli, sole supplier of tyres to the WRC, in San Marino collaborates in this “Rallylegend operation”.
Latvala will be at Rallylegend already on Thursday 12 October, putting on a show in the “Sprint Legend Race”, in which he will participate without time tracking.
Friday 13 will begin with the shakedown, which will see Latvala and the GR Yaris Rally1 out from 10.00am before they return for a dedicated session from 2pm to 3.30pm. The Toyota GR Yaris Rally1, again with Latvala at the wheel, will then “guest star” in the “Pirelli Power Stage”, taking place at the Misano World Circuit, while the morning of Saturday 14 will be dedicated to “Hot Laps” around “The Legend” special stage.
Latvala will then hand over to Lorenzo Bertelli, a driver with solid World Rally experience, who will compete in all the special stages together with the other Legend Stars.
On Sunday 15 October, the final day of Rallylegend, Jari Matti Latvala will be back out on “The Legend” course, putting on a show aboard the GR Yaris Rally1 as well as covering the entire special stage of the race as one of the Legend Stars.
