Pajari has a golden alternative to turn into WRC2 champion this yr. Present factors chief Oliver Solberg’s puncture on Rally Chile, his final points-scoring outing of the season, left him fourth on the rally, which implies a second place for Pajari would clinch the title – and a debut WRC2 title for Toyota’s GR Yaris Rally2.
A succession plan for who’ll spearhead Toyota’s efforts to win the WRC2 crown in 2025 already seems to be in movement. Teemu Suninen is predicted to depart Hyundai, given the producer’s admission {that a} works-supported WRC2 manufacturing facility effort will not be a part of its plans for 2025; Suninen just lately examined a GR Yaris Rally2 in France, with the potential for a full marketing campaign in WRC2 subsequent season.
Latvala bolstered that what occurred in Central Europe can have no bearing on Pajari’s future within the workforce: however earlier than he can set foot in a Rally1 automotive once more, there’s the small matter of turning into WRC2 champion to kind out first.
“What you possibly can take a look at with him is his future: his performances, what he’s performed, he’s fairly a great future,” mentioned Latvala. “However now he wants to pay attention first with the Rally2 to combat the championship in Japan.”
