About the Toyota GR Yaris Rally1 #5 Toyota Gazoo Racing WRT S. Pajari / E. Malkonen Rally Finland 2024 IXO 1:18
TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 resin Toyota GR Yaris Rally1 #5 reproduces Sami Pajari and Enni Mälkönen's Toyota Gazoo Racing World Rally Team entry at Rally Finland 2024. Sealed resin construction captures the hybrid Rally1 car's aggressive aerodynamic bodywork with sharp, factory-finished panel lines.
Rally Finland's fast gravel roads and famous jumps make it one of the WRC's most demanding home-crowd tests, and Pajari's GR Yaris took on that challenge on genuinely local ground.
Rally Finland and Toyota's Rally1 Program
The current World Rally Championship's Rally1 regulations brought hybrid power to the sport's top category, and Toyota Gazoo Racing built its GR Yaris around that formula with aggressive, heavily vented bodywork designed to manage aerodynamics and cooling under conditions far removed from the road-going GR Yaris hatchback it's based on. Rally Finland has long been considered one of the championship's fastest gravel rounds, famous for its crested jumps and demanding a driver's precise feel for a car's balance at speed on loose surfaces, and running it on home ground carries extra weight for a Finnish driver. Sami Pajari represents Finland's newest generation of top-level rally talent, and pairing him with co-driver Enni Mälkönen in factory Toyota Gazoo Racing colors for this specific 2024 event captures a genuinely current moment in the sport rather than historical racing. The #5 entry number and factory livery document the team's exact configuration for this round.
IXO's Resin Construction for a Modern Rally1 Car
IXO builds this GR Yaris in resin rather than diecast, a sealed construction method that holds sharp, consistent panel lines across the Rally1 car's aggressive vents, wide fender flares, and multi-element rear wing, details that a diecast body with opening doors would need to compromise slightly to accommodate functional hinges. The trade-off is straightforward: no opening doors or hood, but tighter, more precise bodywork that suits a modern rally car's heavily sculpted aerodynamic surfaces particularly well. The factory Toyota Gazoo Racing livery, sponsor graphics, and number-5 markings are reproduced with the same tampo-printing precision found across IXO's current WRC range, and the model's lightweight resin body makes it easy to handle despite its detailed surface.
A Modern Rally1 Shelf
This GR Yaris suits a current-era WRC collection specifically, and its resin construction pairs naturally with other recent Rally1 liveries from IXO, building a modern hybrid-era rally shelf distinct from older Group B or Group A rally subjects.
