The handover was also attended by World Rally Championship driver Elfyn Evans – who races for the Toyota Gazoo Rally Team – and Jason Stanley, General Manager of Toyota GB Marketing.

Elfyn who was runner-up in the WRC drivers’ standings in 2020 and 2021 shared some ‘amazing’ insights and advice on what it takes to succeed.
