The car will its Irish debut in Carlow on Sunday where driver Meiron Evans is using the event as test ahead of next week’s Jim Clark Rally
The Donegal appearance in in conjunction with ProVision Global Consultancy run Donegal native Paul Crumlish.
ProVision Global Consultancy have worked successfully within the International Motorsport field for many years delivering high levels of success for drivers, sponsors and corporate brands.
2023 Galway International Rally and 2022 Ulster Rally winners Meirion Evans and Jonathan Jackson have been steering the Yaris in the British Rally Championship this season. However, Ger Conway will be onboard calling the notes in Donegal, taking the place of Jackson.
Meirion has competed on tarmac in Donegal in recent years, finishing third in 2022 and fourth in 2023.
Paul Crumlish of ProVision Global Consultancy says: “I am delighted to be the first to bring this fabulous car to compete in Ireland and especially the Donegal International Rally in conjunction with MEMS. I have enjoyed much success with the Donegal International Rally over the years and look forward to having a successful and safe competition in June.”
Meirion Evans says: “A chance to do Donegal is something I could never turn down! It’s a fantastic opportunity to take the Yaris to the hills. We’ve had a very busy start to the year, but with the BRC jumping from one surface to another we’ve spent most of our time adapting to the car and learning about what works. The car has massive potential and now with some tarmac events back to back, we can really try to extract some proper speed from it, on a surface I’m fully comfortable with. Unfortunately JJ can’t make it but Ger is a top class co-driver and will bring a wealth of experience with him for the event.”
