Over the next two years TMG says it will continue its test programme with the Yaris WRC in preparation for a return to the series, where it won four drivers' and three manufacturers' world championships in the 1990s.
Yaris WRC has already completed a preliminary test programme on Tarmac and gravel stages across Europe, establishing a promising baseline on which to build over the coming months.
The car features a 1.6-litre turbocharged, direct injection engine producing more than 300bhp. Its chassis has been formed using advanced simulation, testing and production techniques.
