The race at Interlagos saw World Champions Sébastien Buemi, Brendon Hartley, and Ryo Hirakawa clinch their first victory of the season in the #8 GR010 HYBRID. This victory is particularly poignant as it comes at the very venue where Toyota achieved its first-ever hybrid-powered WEC victory back in 2012. The pole position-winning #7 GR010 HYBRID, driven by Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi, and Nyck de Vries, faced a setback but managed a remarkable recovery to secure fourth place, earning 12 crucial World Championship points. A flawless performance, strategic teamwork, and superior tyre management contributed to TOYOTA GAZOO Racing’s second win of the year. This triumph narrows the gap to leaders Porsche to just four points in the manufacturers’ standings, with three races remaining in the season.

Considered the first pure asphalt round of the season, the Croatia Rally joined the WRC schedule two years ago and the varied roads around the country’s capital city, Zagreb, are already seen as some of the most challenging on the calendar. With the service park located within Zagreb itself, the stages take place in the north of Croatia close to neighbouring Slovenia. The roads feature a wide variety of different asphalt types, which means that available grip is constantly shifting, while mud and rain can bring about further challenges. Some sections are technical and twisting, but many others are fast and flowing with jumps and crests. Much of the route for this year is familiar from 2022. After the shakedown on Thursday morning and a ceremonial start in Zagreb that evening, Friday’s opening day action takes place just to the west of the city.
