Upcoming Carbon Web3 Browser Promises to Blaze the Trail in Privacy and Speed

January 15, 2023
New York, NY, January 15, 2023 – (SEAPRWire) – Carbon recently announced the upcoming launch of its new Carbon Web3 browser. By utilizing blockchain technology, Carbon browser can provide faster, more private and secure web browsing to the masses. The new privacy focused browser is gaining popularity for blazingly fast speed and unprecedented security. The Carbon browser is a web3 browser that has in-built multi chain wallet, offers immersive experience to its users and allows them to securely browse through web3 Dapps. As the number of cryptocurrency and blockchain users increase through the decade, the need for web browsers that support decentralized apps (Dapps) and other Web3-based products or services will increase. Chief among them are web browsers, where most Dapp front ends can be accessed. Web3 browsers support the growing demand from users who are supporting and building the future of the internet. They allow users to control their data and how it is shared with websites. Moreover, users can determine where and how they spend their self-custodied crypto assets through Web3 browsers as both third party and internal crypto wallets are supported through these browsers. Carbon X Labs, the team behind the new Carbon Web3 browser, believe enough is not yet being done to provide greater privacy and grant users the control and decentralization they need to feel truly safe while surfing the internet. Carbon browser is a fast, private, and secure web browser, which is also free and open source, based on a custom fork of Chromium. Carbon browser launched in 2016 as a web2 browser on the playstore. Since then, Carbon has gained over 5M+ downloads and 1M+ MAUs (monthly active users). The team at Carbon are now pivoting to provide a web 3 browser to cater for the growing demand from web 3 and crypto users. “We’re excited to bring our users the next major update in the Carbon roadmap, our web 3 browser launching 2023 with 100% privacy, decentralized browsing and browse to earn rewards. ” – Nobrac, Project Lead. Carbon is solving the privacy issue with its built-in VPN, dVPN, firewall, and ToR network connectivity. The Carbon team also believes it is solving the decentralization problem apparent in other browsers by hosting its files with Polygon Edge, a decentralized supercloud by Polygon, and also Akash Network, an open-source and decentralized cloud computing platform built using the Cosmos. Moreover, since Carbon does not require users to KYC to receive tokens, it ensures an equal distribution of CSIX to more users around the world than even the leading Brave Web3 browser, which requires users to undergo KYC to receive BAT token rewards. There are a few upgrades scheduled to make the Carbon Web3 browser the best on the market. Some of those upgrades include: Enhanced AdBlock performanceThe use of CSIX to upgrade to Carbon Pro for greater privacy options and more browse to earn rewardsERC-20 token, ERC-721/115s token, BEP-20 token, Bitcoin, and ETH support on Carbon’s built-in multichain crypto walletCross-chain atomic swaps and token bridgingPhishing protection and a secure clipboardAnd many more! The Carbon Web3 browser is set to be the next major competitor with Brave browser, which has garnered over 20 million daily active users in just a few short years since it launched. The three tenets of the Carbon Web3 browser are: fast browsing speed, small file sizes, and simple UX design because the team believes that as the tech-savvy Gen Z rushes into adulthood, they will be eager to self-custody and value the safety of their personal information. Be sure to check out the Carbon Web3 browser which is currently available on Android devices. It will soon be available on iOS, Mac OS, and PC. Also, read the whitepaper which details the mission and vision of the Carbon team, tokenomics of the CSIX token, the advanced ad marketplace, and anything else you might want to know about the development schedule for the browser.

TOYOTA GAZOO Racing takes historic Hypercar title double JCN Newswire

TOYOTA GAZOO Racing takes historic Hypercar title double

November 14, 2022
TOKYO, Nov 14, 2022 - (JCN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - TOYOTA GAZOO Racing earned a dominant one-two victory in the season-ending 8 Hours of Bahrain to secure a clean sweep of FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) titles.Outgoing World Champions Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi and Jose Maria Lopez took a hard-earned win, their second of the season in their #7 GR010 HYBRID, to crown TOYOTA GAZOO Racing as Hypercar manufacturers' World Champions. Sebastien Buemi, Brendon Hartley and Ryo Hirakawa, in the #8 GR010 HYBRID, had started the weekend level on points with their Alpine title rivals but finished second to become drivers' World Champions, adding to their 2022 Le Mans 24 Hours win. Sebastien and Brendon write their names in the record books as the first drivers to win three titles in the top category of WEC or its predecessor, the World Sportscar Championship. Ryo, a Le Mans winner in June, capped a remarkable rookie season by becoming Japan's third WEC champion. A perfect result in Bahrain was a fitting end to a successful season for TOYOTA GAZOO Racing, which now has a fifth world title double from 10 years of WEC competition, adding to a roll of honour in 2022 which includes a fifth consecutive Le Mans win and eighth victory at Fuji Speedway. Success in WEC ensures TOYOTA GAZOO Racing achieves the unique feat of winning every available title, eight in total, in the three FIA series it participated in this season: the World Endurance, World Rally and World Rally Raid Championships. The race began under bright Bahraini sunshine, with air temperatures of 35degC, and the on-track action was equally hot. Sebastien led from pole while Jose fought with the #36 Alpine, losing third at the start before regaining the place three laps later, following a safety car period. Sebastien held off the challenge of the #93 Peugeot, with Jose firmly in contention in third. Just six seconds covered the top three when the opening pit stops arrived after an hour, during which Jose leapfrogged the #93 for second and closed to the rear of the #8, before Sebastien edged out an advantage. When a technical problem sidelined the #93 after two hours, a full course yellow allowed both GR010 HYBRIDs to swap drivers. Brendon took over the #8, with Mike in the #7, and they battled throughout their first stint, separated by less than a second until Mike took the lead early in the fourth hour as the sun set over Bahrain International Circuit. Mike pushed hard to build a gap and at half distance he led by a few seconds going into the next pit stops, when Kamui took the wheel. A lap later, Brendon's stint ended and Ryo brought the #8 back on track directly behind the #7. Kamui gradually extended his advantage to 15 seconds by the end of the fifth hour, doubling the #7 car's lead over the next hour before Jose and Sebastien returned to their respective cockpits with less than two hours remaining. Further driver changes with 45 minutes to go left Mike to take the chequered flag, finishing 45.471secs clear of Brendon in the #8. That triggered title celebrations to bring the curtain down on an exciting Hypercar season after 58 hours of competition covering 10,620km since the first race in Sebring eight months ago. TOYOTA GAZOO Racing has one remaining appointment in the 2022 season, the official WEC rookie test at Bahrain International Circuit. LMP2 driver Lilou Wadoux has been nominated by WEC to drive the GR010 HYBRID and she will therefore become the first female Hypercar driver during Sunday's test.Kamui Kobayashi (Team Principal and driver, car #7):"We achieved a one-two, Seb, Brendon and Ryo won the drivers' title and we won the manufacturers' championship so we hit all our targets for this race. I am really pleased with that. The team did a great job today and all season, as did the drivers. Thanks for all their support, as well as the support from our colleagues in Japan and our partners who have helped us all through the season. This year we faced strong competition and we finished with the best possible result. It's a great feeling to end with a win; Mike and Jose drove a strong race and the crew performed well as they have done all year. On our car, we missed the drivers' title but car #8 really deserved it and I am happy for them. All season the team and drivers have worked really hard, with a great team spirit, so I hope everyone can enjoy this moment and celebrate the titles."Mike Conway (Driver, car #7):"It feels great to win the race and be part of a one-two for the team. Congratulations to Kamui, Jose and the whole #7 crew who did a stellar job here, and also to car #8 on the championship, they had a really consistent, strong year so fully deserve it. Our race went very well and it was a close fight for a lot of the eight hours. Car #8 kept us on our toes as always until Kamui pulled out a good gap which made it more comfortable. Everyone on our car executed really well today, with a nice clean race, good pit stops and the right strategy. It's fantastic to win the manufacturers' title again; thanks to everyone in Japan, Cologne and all the other people who have made this happen."Jose Maria Lopez (Driver, car #7):"Well done to the guys on car #8 who really deserve this championship after a very strong season; hats off to them. And congratulations to the whole team in Cologne and in Japan, and to all the people and partners working behind the scenes to help us succeed. It has been a year with intense competition but we have achieved our objectives so I am very happy. I really enjoyed starting the race today, it's good fun to battle closely with all the other Hypercars. Mike and Kamui performed really well which made it easier for me when I jumped back in towards the end. We have a great group and I couldn't be prouder to be part of it. It is really a pleasure to be part of this team and enjoy moments like this."Sebastien Buemi (Driver, car #8):"It's amazing to win the World Championship this year. We maximised all the opportunities and doing the double of Le Mans and the title is an amazing feeling. Special credit to Ryo because he came into the team as a newcomer and he won in his first year. It is not easy to jump into a Hypercar and fight at the front against such strong competition but he has been an amazing team-mate. Car #7 is always strong and it is never easy to beat them, as they showed today. We wanted to win the race and take the title in style but, despite a competitive start, we just didn't have enough today. We will enjoy this feeling and then look to next year which will be a really exciting one."Brendon Hartley (Driver, car #8):"I am really pleased to complete the job here and win both World Championships. I don't think it has really sunk in yet that we are champions again, but I'm sure it will soon. Thanks to everyone on the team for their fantastic support all year to give us a car to win the title and Le Mans. Today our objective was simply to beat Alpine and secure the title; we couldn't afford to take any risks just to get the race win. Car #7 had the pace and deserved the victory, so well done to them. They have been tough competitors all year and it has been fiercely fought, also with Alpine who kept us honest. We worked hard for this title and it is a credit to the whole team."Ryo Hirakawa (Driver, car #8):"Today we achieved everything we wanted to, so I am very happy and I will enjoy this moment with the team, who really deserve it. It doesn't feel real yet, I need some time to get used to it. It has been challenging to race a Hypercar in WEC for the first time; everything was new to me. I didn't expect to win Le Mans and the World Championship in my first year so thanks a lot to the team and my team-mates for helping me settle in and become stronger over the season. I was really patient in the race today because I knew the championship situation and it was just important that I didn't take any risks. My target was to hand the car over in a strong position and I achieved that, so I was happy."8 Hours of Bahrain - Result1st #7 TOYOTA GAZOO Racing 245 laps2nd #8 TOYOTA GAZOO Racing +45.471secs3rd #36 Alpine Elf Team (Negrao/Lapierre/Vaxiviere) +2 laps4th #94 Peugeot TotalEnergies (Duval/Menezes/Muller) +6 laps5th #31 WRT (Galael/Frijns/Vanthoor) +8 laps6th #23 United Autosports USA (Lynn/Jarvis/Pierson) +8 lapsFor more information, visit https://toyotagazooracing.com/wec/release/2022/rd06-race/.

It's the second year in a row that the team has managed a clean sweep of the three available titles: An especially notable achievement given that it spans a major revolution in the technical regulations introduced at the start of this season when the all-new GR YARIS Rally1 HYBRID succeeded the Yaris WRC.In total, this is the sixth occasion that Toyota has topped the WRC's manufacturers' classification, the third time since it returned to the series in 2017.The rally win in Spain is the team's seventh of the season and a first for the outgoing eight-time champion Ogier in his part-time campaign. The 55th victory of his career is also a maiden triumph for co-driver Benjamin Veillas.In his first asphalt rally since January's Rallye Monte-Carlo, Ogier was among the pacesetters from the start, winning three stages on Friday to lead despite having to deal with dirtier roads than his rivals in mixed weather conditions. He took three more stage wins in a commanding performance on Saturday as he pulled away from the pack, and went on to win the last two stages of the rally on Sunday - including the final Power Stage - as he clinched victory by 16.4 seconds.Rovanpera was also in the battle for the lead on Friday when he was fastest in four stages, and eventually finished in third position overall. His hopes of second place faded after he was one of several to sustain tyre damage over a drain cover in Sunday's second stage.Elfyn Evans was part of a close-fought top five at the beginning of the rally but was unable to find the perfect feeling to match the rapid pace at the front. A flat tyre on Friday afternoon and another at the same place as Rovanpera on SS17 contributed to him finishing sixth overall - still an important result to help the team towards its main goal.One place further behind in seventh was Takamoto Katsuta who recovered from a difficult start to show strong and consistent speed in his TGR WRT Next Generation entry.*Subject to the official publication of the results by the FIAFor more information, visit https://toyotagazooracing.com/wrc/release/2022/rd12-day3/.

September 27, 2022
LONDON, UK, Sept 27, 2022 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Metafluence, an immersive, live, and influencer-driven social Metaverse with several virtual properties for influencers, brands, and everyone, has announced the usage of hyper-realistic metahumans in the Metaverse. While metahumans have existed for a long time, Metafluence is deploying them to its virtual city, Metafluence City.Metafluence City aims to connect brands, influencers, and their audience in the Metaverse. Through this city, Metafluence will grant users an opportunity to showcase and auction NFTs, organize meetings and conferences, set up e-commerce stores, buy virtual properties like plots of land, and regularly interact with influencers and brands globally.Launched on August 10, 2022, Metafluence's hyper-realistic metahumans will advance widespread adoption and onboard more users to the emerging virtual world.Hyper-realistic Metahumans and the Metafluence City Metafluence has designed several hyper-realistic metahumans and is gradually deploying them into the Metaverse. The first metahuman, Luna, is a compassionate, kind, entertaining, super mysterious, and intelligent influencer who regularly educates users about the potential of artificial intelligence [AI] and how its global adoption can be a profitable venture. Luna loves to show her reaction to current AI, NFT, and Metaverse news on social media, and Metafluence hopes these reactions will help drive more users.Metafluence's hyper-realistic metahumans are high fidelity and capable of replicating the owner's physical appearance in a digital format. They are designed to imitate and mimic their owner's behavior and serve as avatars on the Metaverse. Additionally, when successfully integrated with AI, as Metafluence plans, they can function independently as AI-built metahumans and influencers in the Metaverse.A Historic Day for the Metafluence Team Metafluence also launched the hyper-realistic city, Metafluence City, on August 10, 2022, alongside the metahumans. The Metafluence City is an influencer-driven, Metaverse-based city for brands, influencers, and millions of fans worldwide to conveniently buy virtual properties, socialize, and interact with millions of others.

Many large companies and global brands have joined the Metaverse and Web3 trend. However, the critical problem still stays—Mass Adoption.Metafluence understands the barrier and how to knock it down, hence the development of an easy-to-use social metaverse platform incentivizing influencers to bring fans into their virtual spaces and keep them hanging around by engaging in one-to-one immersive formats. Thanks to its influencer-driven nature, Metafluence City will bring together audiences of various influencers from all nationalities and industries.About MetafluenceMetafluence is the first influencer-driven Metaverse platform to provide users with a virtual city to connect with brands, influencers, and millions of fans.

September 19, 2022
Le Castellet, France, Sep 19, 2022 - (JCN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - F.C.C. TSR Honda France, running second in the 2022 FIM* Endurance World Championship (EWC), made a comeback to win this year's championship in the final round, the Bol d'Or 2022, held at Circuit Paul Ricard on September 17 - 18. The team has won the title for the second time, its first in the 2017-2018 season.F.C.C. TSR Honda France kicked off its 2022 campaign with riders Josh Hook (29 years old, Australia), Geno Rea (33 years old, UK) and Mike Di Meglio (24 years old, France) on a Honda CBR1000RR-R FIREBLADE SP.In the season-opener, the 24 Heures Motos held at Le Mans, the team qualified third, and finished third. In Round 2, the 24H SPA EWC Motos, the team started fourth on the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps grid, and although down to tenth place mid-race, made a dramatic comeback to fourth, and a last lap charge by Rea gave them third in the final results.In Round 3, the Suzuka 8 Hours, held for the first time in three years, Rea crashed during free practice and was transported by helicopter to a hospital. Hook and Di Meglio was left to ride the eight-hour classic at the Suzuka Circuit in Mie. They qualified fourth, and although they faced numerous problems throughout the race, reclaimed places and finished tenth.F.C.C. TSR Honda France headed into the final round, the Bol d'Or 2022, second overall, 23 points behind the series leader. Alan Techer (28 years old, France), one of the riders in the team's previous victory in 2017-2018, stood in for Rea, in the hope that his experience will help them reclaim the title. The team started from fourth on the grid at 3:00 pm on the 17th. Two incidents sent their placing down to 28th, but consistent and determined riding brought the team back up to 4th place by the time the race ended at 3:00 pm on the 18th. As other championship contenders fail to complete the race, F.C.C. TSR Honda France won the overall championship.Josh Hook | F.C.C. TSR Honda France"I have learned from the past to never take a result for granted before the chequered flag. We have come back from complicated situations in the past and nothing is ever certain. Like everyone else, we did our race and never gave up. We did very well, all three of us were fast, especially at night. We were quickly no longer in a position to fight for victory, so we focused on the championship, which was clearly the priority goal. We chose to take care of the engine as much as possible to avoid the problems that most of our competitors have. And it's done!"Mike Di Meglio | F.C.C. TSR Honda France"I'm very happy to finally be World Endurance Champion! I came so close with GMT94 and I'm really proud of this title after so many years of fighting for it. It was a really tough race. We had some problems and our opponents were forced to stop one after the other. When Tati Team #4 was fighting at the front, we decided to build up enough of a gap to our chaser to get out of trouble. But when they dropped down the rankings, we changed our strategy to preserve the engine as much as possible by shifting earlier on the straight. It was the best thing to do because the world championship was more important than a podium finish."Alan Techer | F.C.C. TSR Honda France"It was a complicated race for everyone, we also had some mechanical problems. The team worked hard to reduce the time spent in the pits and, with my teammates, we did our best to respect the race plan. The objective was clearly the title, and after the Suzuki's retirement, we battled with the Tati Team, my former team. This is a special emotion for me, because I win this title with the team that had already given me the chance to be champion in 2018. We also have a big thought for Gino to whom we dedicate this title."* FIM: Federation Internationale de Motocyclisme Copyright 2022 JCN Newswire. All rights reserved. (via SEAPRWire)

Team Mitsubishi Ralliart Announces Team Lineup for Asia Cross Country Rally 2022 in November JCN Newswire

Team Mitsubishi Ralliart Announces Team Lineup for Asia Cross Country Rally 2022 in November

September 19, 2022
TOKYO, Sep 19, 2022 - (JCN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Mitsubishi Motors Corporation announced that Team Mitsubishi Ralliart, which will compete in the Asia Cross Country Rally (AXCR) with Mitsubishi Motors' technical support, has revealed the team lineup for the upcoming AXCR 2022 to be held from November 21 to 26 in Thailand and Cambodia.Team Mitsubishi Ralliart See here for driver comments: https://youtu.be/LFXxQXiAcfc From Team Mitsubishi Ralliart, Rifat Sungkar (Indonesia), winner of the Indonesian Sprint Rally Championship, and Chayapon Yotha (Thailand), who has won the Thailand Autocross Championship, will drive two Triton rally cars in the Group T1 (prototype cross-country vehicles) category and compete for the higher position. The highly experienced Sakchai Hantrakul (Thailand) will support them in a third Triton support car. Team Mitsubishi Ralliart will have all the resources it needs to take on the AXCR challenge; TANT SPORT (Thailand), which owns the team, is joined by team director Hiroshi Masuoka, a former two-time Dakar Rally champion driver, and Mitsubishi Motors engineers will accompany the team to provide technical support. Team Mitsubishi Ralliart conducted endurance tests of the Triton rally car for 1,100 km at the Grand Prix Motor Park off-road race track in Kanchanaburi, in the west of Thailand, from August 29 to 31. Reducing the weight and improving the output characteristics of the engine have increased drivability, enabling agile handling over the twisty course. In addition, new dual dampers have improved road following performance and contributed to significant improvements in driving stability and rough road drivability. Rifat Sungkar praised the feel of the car in his first experience in the Triton: "Rally drivers pass through many different corners, one by one. Therefore, it is crucial for the rally car to have excellent maneuverability and drivability as the driver intends, and high durability and reliability over rough roads. A good co-driver who can navigate accurately and quickly is also important for a successful result. Through the endurance tests, we were able to confirm that the Triton rally car delivers excellent performance in terms of rough road drivability and durability." Having participated in the previous endurance test in June, Chayapon Yotha responded positively after driving the improved car at anticipated rally speeds:"Speed is not everything in rally competition. In order to win, it is important to maximize the sense of unity between the driver and the rally car, and to control the tempo flexibly between acceleration and deceleration. We have confirmed that the Triton rally car has a great finish and responds precisely and agilely to driver input." Hiroshi Masuoka, team director of Team Mitsubishi Ralliart, commented:"It is a privilege to welcome such talented drivers to the team. Rifat has lots of experience in sprint rallying, so if we do a good job as a team to manage the long-distance aspect of a cross-country rally, he will deliver a great performance. Chayapon has extensive experience in cross-country rallies and improves every time he gets in the car, so I'm expecting good outcomes from him. With regard to the Triton, the two endurance tests enabled us to identify issues and deal with them. We will carry out a shakedown test in November before AXCR 2022, but the Triton is looking good so far and I believe the drivers will be able to deliver tough, solid performances."

Team Mitsubishi Ralliart Conducts Endurance Tests of the Triton Rally Car for the Asia Cross Country Rally 2022 in November JCN Newswire

Team Mitsubishi Ralliart Conducts Endurance Tests of the Triton Rally Car for the Asia Cross Country Rally 2022 in November

July 18, 2022
TOKYO, Jul 18, 2022 - (JCN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Mitsubishi Motors Corporation announced that Team Mitsubishi Ralliart, which will compete in the Asia Cross Country Rally (AXCR) 2022 with Mitsubishi Motors' technical support, has conducted endurance tests of the Triton rally car on an off-road course in Thailand on June 27th and 28th, confirming that preparations for the rally are proceeding smoothly.Testing of the Triton Rally Car Video of the testing: https://youtu.be/lIgH6KQDF_c The endurance tests subjected the car to high loads comparable to those expected in the rally and focused mainly on the reliability and durability of the chassis and engine. To test the performance of the rally car in an environment similar to that of the actual course, the Team used a 10-kilometer course that combines a high-speed range, rough gravel road and a narrow, winding forest course. "Since the Triton has a robust chassis frame and an excellent handling performance, we decided to reduce the vehicle weight at a minimum for the rally modification while leveraging its original strength as much as possible," said Hiroshi Masuoka, team director of Team Mitsubishi Ralliart. "Having covered more than 800 kilometers in two days, the rally car showed its great performance throughout the tough endurance tests as we expected, and now we are confident that our preparation is on the right track." AXCR is a grueling, week-long, 2,000-kilometer cross-country rally that races through the unique natural terrain of Southeast Asia. Normally held in August of each year, the rally was canceled in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This year, the dates for the rally were pushed back to November 21st to 26th, and the course will be about 1,700 kilometers long, beginning in Buriram in the northeast of Thailand before crossing into Cambodia and ending at the World Heritage site of Angkor Wat. Triton rally car overview The Triton rally car is classified as a F?d?ration Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) Group T1 rally car (prototype cross-country vehicle). Based on the Thailand-specification double-cab model, the car?s hood, front and rear doors, interior and other parts have been lightened, while the body has been strengthened with a roll cage and under guards. The dedicated rally car suspension provides superb handling characteristics, while the front and rear limited-slip differential (LSD), large-diameter off-road tires and lightweight alloy wheels dramatically improve handling on rough road surfaces. Tuning of the 2.4 L diesel turbo engine has focused on reducing friction loss and weight, and improving responsiveness in the mid-speed ranges frequently used in rallies. Some AXCR stages include river crossings, so water-proofing modifications have also been added, such as stronger sealing and an air-intake snorkel.For more information, visit www.mitsubishi-motors.com/en/newsrelease/2022/detail1384.html.

GR YARIS Rally1 wins African epic with incredible 1-2-3-4 finish JCN Newswire

GR YARIS Rally1 wins African epic with incredible 1-2-3-4 finish

June 27, 2022
TOKYO, Jun 27, 2022 - (JCN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - TOYOTA GAZOO Racing has claimed a historic result at the legendary Safari Rally Kenya with Kalle Rovanpera leading a remarkable clean sweep of the top four positions for the GR YARIS Rally1 car. Elfyn Evans and Takamoto Katsuta joined him on the podium with Sebastien Ogier in fourth.PodiumIt is also a landmark 10th victory for Toyota on the famous African event, and the first time it has achieved a 1-2-3-4 finish in the WRC since the very same rally in 1993. Only once has any other manufacturer achieved the same feat in the championship in nearly three decades since.In its second running since returning to the WRC calendar last year, the Safari delivered even tougher conditions, including deep 'fesh-fesh' sand on Friday and wet and muddy surfaces on Saturday in addition to the ever-present rocks and stones. It was by far the hardest challenge yet for the new generation of hybrid-powered Rally1 cars, but the GR YARIS survived everything that the Kenyan terrain could throw at it to remain reliable and dominate the weekend without any major issues. The next best-placed car finished eight-and-a-half minutes adrift of the Toyota quartet.Rovanpera had an early scare when he ran wide on the very first corner on Thursday's opening super special in Nairobi and knocked a tyre off its rim. But he and co-driver Jonne Halttunen ran faultlessly thereafter on the way to their fourth victory in five rounds, increasing their championship lead to 65 points.Evans and his co-driver Scott Martin also performed superbly and ran their team-mates close for the victory, remaining within 20 seconds of the lead until the rain hit on Saturday afternoon. They finished up 52.8s away as they scored their second podium of the season.TGR WRC Challenge Program driver Katsuta once more drove an excellent and smart rally in the demanding conditions of Kenya to claim his second career podium, one year on from taking his first at the very same event. It's also a maiden podium for his co-driver Aaron Johnston, the pair entered under the TGR World Rally Team Next Generation banner.Ogier, the 2021 event winner, led for most of Friday in the defence of his crown until he had to stop and change a tyre on the day's final stage, losing over two minutes. He and co-driver Benjamin Veillas fought back to fourth overall and, with their team-mates focused on reaching their finish, set the third-fastest time in the rally-ending Power Stage to add to the team's points haul from the weekend. Its manufacturers' championship lead has increased to 62 points.Quotes:Akio Toyoda (Team Founder)"Kalle, Jonne, congratulations!Elfyn, Takamoto, Seb, thank you for making the wonderful result!Aaron, congratulations on your first podium!TGR's first ever 1-2-3-4 finish was achieved thanks to our crews who brought the cars back safely on such tough roads in Kenya. This event reminded us how important it is to drive through the rally without trouble. Not only the crews, but I also appreciate the team's support behind it.Not staying disappointed by the result in Sardinia, the team did a great job to prepare for Kenya in a short space of time. I heard some parts were even completed only after arriving in Kenya. Mechanics and engineers kept discussing between services and did not stop making improvements for the rough surfaces. I'm proud that the team is implementing ever-better car making through the rallies taking place on real roads.Kalle went wide and his car got damaged on the first day. Many were worried but his mechanics were very confident with a smile and they managed to fix it back in 15 minutes. Of course Kalle's driving is amazing to win the rally from this position, but the mechanics' skills and confidence are great as well.I'm most pleased to feel that this wonderful achievement is the result of the team's strength that we have built up over the years. We cannot forget that the fans' support is also helping the team a lot. I appreciate your continuous support for the second half of the 2022 season.P.S.Thank you to those from Toyota Kenya who came to cheer for the team. Thanks to your warm welcome and support, we were able to enjoy this rally as another home event!"Jari-Matti Latvala (Team Principal)"To achieve a 1-2-3-4 here at the Safari Rally is an exceptional result. It's nearly 30 years since Toyota managed the same feat here in Kenya with the Celica and I can only thank our team and our drivers for the superb job they have done. When we were developing the GR YARIS Rally1 we focused above all on making a really strong and reliable car. This was really the most important thing on this event and the car has worked really well in such difficult conditions. Our drivers have also driven this rally exactly the way it needs to be driven, which is in a very smart way, and it was great to see them all thinking about the result for the team rather than their own personal ambitions."Sebastien Ogier (Driver car 1)"It has been a really strong weekend. I was only missing a bit of luck but that's part of the game. Most of all, I'm happy to be a part of this amazing result for the team and I want to congratulate everybody at TOYOTA GAZOO Racing because it's been a great effort to provide all four of us drivers with such a strong car for three full days on the toughest rally of the season. This rally was a tough challenge up to the end so the whole team deserves a big round of applause, and also my team-mates because they drove very well this weekend."Elfyn Evans (Driver car 33)"It's been a really nice weekend. Of course we really wanted to fight for the win, but that slipped away from us on Saturday with one thing or another, and today was about securing this 1-2-3-4 for TOYOTA GAZOO Racing which is obviously a fantastic result to be a part of. It was a tough fight to get through this extreme terrain here in Kenya and while everybody else has struggled, our cars have really come through it so a big well done to the team."Kalle Rovanpera (Driver car 69)"This is a result that I don't think we could have even imagined before the event. To have a top four that is all Toyota is something amazing and such a great result for the team. It was the hardest rally I've ever done, so to have all four cars at the finish with no big issues, it's clearly the strongest and fastest car. For myself to get the win here like this in such a special rally is really nice. Thank you to the team, everybody did a great job. They are developing the car all the time which is important and that's helping us to put some good results together."For the latest results please visit www.wrc.com.What's next?Rally Estonia (July 14-17) takes place over fast and smooth gravel roads with many crests and jumps, as well as some more technical sections.
