The Marlboro Masters was an epic racing event held at Zandvoort, showcasing MotoGP, rally, F1, V8STAR, DTCC, and much more. Seriously, a legendary time weโll never get back
thanks to the European Union banning tobacco advertising.
For a while, up until around 2017ish, the Toyota Corolla lost much of its charm. In the 90s, saying you drove a Corolla was almost a flex, thanks to its massive success in WRC and touring car racing. Castrol-liveried Toyotas were burned into everyoneโs memory. But recently, Iโve absolutely fallen in love with the new GR Corolla. I love that Toyota is still willing to build fun, entry-level cars for real enthusiasts.
The Toyota Corolla WRC is a World Rally Car built by Toyota Motorsport GmbH for the Toyota Castrol Team, based on the E110 Corolla. It debuted at the 1997 Rally Finland, replacing the Celica Turbo ST205, and went on to score four rally wins and the 1999 World Manufacturersโ Championship, driven by legends such as Carlos Sainz, Didier Auriol, Juha Kankkunen, and Freddy Loix.
