Two simultaneous rally successes for Toyota Etios cars came last weekend. Alejandro Galanti’s Etios R5 won the Paraguayan championship Rally de Carapegua, beating the strong national Skoda Fabia R5 team headed by Codasur champion, Gustavo Saba, who won the national title on the event.
This was at the same time Osian Pryce made the world competitive debut of R4-Kit formula cars on the Spanish gravel championship Ciudad de Granada Rally.
