For Björn Waldegård or Lars-Erik Torph read Seth Quintero. And for Supra, read GR Corolla Rally RC2.
Toyota is back Stateside with a factory rally car once more.
The last time the Japanese manufacturer sent a works effort to an American stage rally was the 1987 Olympus, when Waldegård and Torph were each handed a Supra and as many rear tires as they needed to get down the baking Washington gravel roads, 39 summers ago.
While Quintero’s Toyota Gazoo Racing-engineered Corolla is tailor-made for stage, the Supra wasn’t.
