The two drive as drivers for the Finnish Printsport team, as Toyota itself does not run its equipment as a team at the WRC2 level. Toyota has not previously had a car in the second class of the World Rally Championship.
“I believe in the vision of the future. Toyota has made winning cars and that was one point why I wanted to choose this car. The competitiveness of the car is interesting”, commented Pajari in the press release.
“Toyota only brings a new Rally2 car to the market once, so only once can I seize the opportunity and be the first driver of the car in a WRC competition situation. The opportunity is so wonderful that I decided to take it. It's a pretty neat thing.”
Last In the season, Pajari, 22, from Lahti, drove in the WRC2 class World Series as a driver for Toksport, supported by the Skoda factory. Pajari celebrated a class win in the Jyväskylä World Rally and also got on the podium in the Swedish, Estonian and Chilean World Championships.
