TOKYO, Jan 17, 2022 - (JCN Newswire) - The TOYOTA GAZOO Racing World Rally Team will begin a bold new era in the FIA World Rally Championship when the 2022 season begins and the GR YARIS Rally1 makes its debut on the legendary Rallye Monte-Carlo from January 20-23.
The GR YARIS Rally1 is the successor to the all-conquering Yaris WRC, which claimed a clean sweep of the manufacturers', drivers' and co-drivers' in the 2021 season that concluded just eight weeks ago at Monza in Italy. Now, the roads of the French Alps will play host to the first event for the revolutionary Rally1 cars, which take over from the World Rally Cars that have formed the highest category of the WRC for the past quarter of a century.

Rally1 cars feature several significant changes compared to their predecessors, headlined by the arrival of hybrid technology to the highest level of rallying for the first time. The hybrid unit in each car comprises of a 3.9kWh battery and a motor-generator unit (MGU) delivering an additional 100 kW (134 PS) under acceleration.

In the GR YARIS Rally1, this is combined with the proven 1.6-litre turbocharged engine from the Yaris WRC to provide the drivers with over 500 PS. The engine will run on a 100 per cent sustainable fuel: The first of its kind to be used in an FIA world championship.

The GR YARIS Rally1 is built around a dedicated spaceframe chassis offering increased safety protection for drivers and co-drivers. Other transformations required by the regulations include less complex aerodynamics, a return to a mechanical gearshift and the removal of the active centre differential. These changes will increase the focus on the skills of the drivers, who will also need to adapt to the demands around regenerating and deploying the hybrid energy on the stages, while working with their engineers to optimise the performance and drivability within these new parameters.

Since it ran for the first time last spring, the GR YARIS Rally1 has undergone a thorough testing programme which for the last few weeks has been focused on the particular demands of Rallye Monte-Carlo. The event is famed for its changeable conditions, which can vary from dry asphalt to snow and ice, and could provide an especially challenging start for the drivers in their new cars.

When the rally begins on Thursday night, the GR YARIS Rally1 of reigning champion Sebastien Ogier will be the first of the new generation of cars to start a competitive stage. The eight-time world champion, who has also won Rallye Monte-Carlo a record eight times, is embarking on a partial schedule of events this season along with a new co-driver, Benjamin Veillas. Leading TOYOTA GAZOO Racing's effort over the full season will be Elfyn Evans and his co-driver Scott Martin, who finished second in the 2021 standings, and Kalle Rovanpera and his co-driver Jonne Halttunen, who came fourth overall last season.

A total of four GR YARIS Rally1 cars will be present on every round with Takamoto Katsuta and co-driver Aaron Johnston contesting the full season for a newly-created team, TOYOTA GAZOO Racing World Rally Team Next Generation.

The crews today begin three days of reconnaissance of the stages, 85 per cent of which are new compared to 2021. For the 90th edition of the rally, the service park moves to Monaco itself from Gap. After a shakedown on Thursday morning, the rally will begin in the evening from the iconic Casino Square ahead of an opening pair of night stages - the second includes a return to the classic Col de Turini, to be passed in darkness for the first time since 2013.

Friday is the longest day of the rally and consists of three stages to be run twice with no mid-day service, only a tyre-fitting zone in Puget-Theniers. The task is similar on Saturday, which takes place further to the west: Three stages will be run in the morning, two of which will be repeated in the afternoon after a tyre-fitting zone in Digne-les-Bains. The rally's final day on Sunday is made up of two stages run twice - the latter stage finishing in Entrevaux is the only one that is identical to last year.

NEW YORK, NY, Jan 17, 2022 - (ACN Newswire) - Yowie Group eagerly announces the debut of a new, "ultra" rare collectible, the Pacific Giant Glass Frog. This figurine is the rarest collectible Yowie has ever released and is a part of the newly released "Animals with Superpowers" series. Its superpower is translucency. Native to Ecuador and Columbia, their skin is translucent showing the organs, bones and muscles that lie beneath. This spectacular amphibian is Critically Endangered in the wild. Yowie hopes that being part of this new collection in a special way will bring added awareness to their plight and how they can be helped.

The odds of finding a Pacific Giant Glass Frog are one in one thousand! That's a .001 percent chance of discovering one inside of a surprise-inside Yowie chocolate. Now that Yowie collectors are aware of the Pacific Giant Glass Frog as part of the "Animals with Superpowers" series, fans throughout the U.S. and Australia will unwrap the brightly colored foil Yowie characters with anticipation, in hopes of discovering they have scored this unique animal. Among the first to discover the Pacific Giant Glass Frog in Australia is Jason Ross.

"I've been collecting Yowie since I was a child and was very excited when they came back," said Ross. "I've been collecting the new series ever since! I was taken aback when I found the Glass Frog! It was amazing! I usually only buy when on special, but the new series had just come out, so I thought just get one. I knew of the Glass Frog and its rarity after seeing the first U.S. find. Never did I think I would be the first Australian finder!"

Information regarding the Pacific Giant Glass Frog is available on Yowie's website so fans can learn more. For anyone eager to discover one or complete their "Animals with Superpowers" collection, Yowie surprise-inside chocolate eggs can be found in Woolworths stores across Australia.

"When we were developing this newest Animals with Superpowers collection, we wanted to do something special and different for our fans. This is our seventh series since the re-launch of Yowie in 2014, and we try hard to keep each new collection fresh and exciting. It is always special to us to call attention to amazing, endangered animals," said Cynthia Thayer, Global CMO at Yowie Group. "This time, our intent was to very literally surprise collectors with an ultra-rare collectible, letting them be the first to bring it to light to the general public."

Thayer further explained that there's an opportunity for Yowie fans to obtain 21 new collectibles if you include the glass frog, in the new series: 19 fascinating endangered animals and two Yowie characters, Nap and Crag. Thayer added, "Yowie is on a mission to make learning about endangered wildlife fun with the added bonus of acquiring high-quality collectibles and 100 percent, clean-label milk chocolate treats."
