Elfyn Evans will carry Toyota’s first marker into WRC Delfi Rally Estonia after the official entry list confirmed a 53-car field for the championship’s high-speed gravel return.
The published WRC entry list places Evans and Scott Martin in the #33 Toyota GR Yaris Rally1, with Toyota Gazoo Racing WRT fielding five Rally1 cars across Evans, Takamoto Katsuta, Oliver Solberg, Sami Pajari and Sebastien Ogier.
That depth matters. Rally Estonia runs from 16-19 July, with the organiser confirming a Friday morning shakedown, a Tartu opening ceremony and a first-time P1 demo show as part of the revised event programme.

Toyota’s five-car marker
Hyundai’s Rally1 attack is led by Adrien Fourmaux, Thierry Neuville and Esapekka Lappi, while M-Sport Ford names Jon Armstrong, Josh McErlean and Martins Sesks in Puma Rally1 machinery.
For Evans, the scale of Toyota’s entry turns Estonia into more than a points exercise. The event’s 18 gravel stages cover 301.80 competitive kilometres, with WRC describing the route as a mix of wide forest roads, narrower technical sections and flat-out crests around southern Estonia.
That is exactly the type of rally where road position, commitment over jumps and second-pass tyre management can swing the leaderboard quickly. Evans has the machinery and support structure, but Toyota’s internal benchmark will be severe.
With 11 Rally1 cars and a deep Rally2 field underneath, Estonia gives the title fight a hard reset before the championship moves towards Finland. Follow more WRC news and analysis on Read Motorsport.
