TOYOTA made its rally debut with the Celica in 1972 and three years later Hannu Mikkola clinched a first win with victory at the 1000 Lakes Rally in a Corolla. Juha Kankunnen also had some success but Carlos Sainz (pictured) was the real catalyst, winning the World Rally Championship drivers’ title in the Celica GT-Four in 1990. He added TOYOTA’s second title two years later in the Celica Turbo 4WD.
