.TakamotoKatsuta will join the factory TGR_WRC team for RallySweden. But the marque insists it will not heap pressure on the Japanese driver this weekend. Story:
Toyota World Rally Championship boss Jari-Matti Latvala says the team won’t"put more pressure" on Takamoto Katsuta to deliver in his first drive for the factory team this weekend.Katsuta will pilot the third points scoring GR Yaris for the first time in his career at Rally Sweden after earning a promotion to the seat for half of the 2023 season.
This weekend marks Katsuta’s first drive in the elevated role, and while both Latvala and driver admit the position comes with extra pressure, there are no added expectations from Toyota. "We don’t expect too much. If he can just continue to do the same work which he has done last year that is enough. If he can keep going the same rhythm it is absolutely perfect for us."
Looking ahead to this weekend snow rally in Sweden, Katsuta admits there will be more pressure to perform but is treating the event the same as any rally last year.
