Two of Toyota’s young Japanese drivers will step up to Rally2 competition on selected European events for 2024, the manufacturer has announced.
The pair will likely compete in Toyota’s all-new GR Yaris Rally2, the Japanese marque’s first Rally2 car which is set to debut in 2024.

They are trying very hard to finally find some Japanese rally talent!
Seems to me they're stepping up in terms of events and car/category way too soon... Both need a few years somewhere like Italy, one of the Baltic Championships or even UK, off the radar competing at a lower level.
Thought that Renault Rally3 would be their car next year, but it seems that Toyota´s new Rally2 car was too attractive option and of course it´s also understandable it this situation. Maybe the main program is still in the national events and only a couple of WRC starts.

One of the biggest Fabia R5/Rally2 customer's Printsport has sold all “their” Skoda's !
1)Yaris Rally2 armada is coming
or
2)Hyundai wants Rally2 results - Lappi, Lindholm and Suninen all have Printsport background.
Followed up today with quote by Eero Raikkonen, Printsport CEO/GM:
Nothing special, just swapping to fresh ones, Skoda Fabia RS #69 coming in next week. We continue running #skodamotorsport cars.
M-Sport's Fiesta Rally2 upgrades applauded...
