Sebastien Ogier has tested the new Toyota Yaris WRC as he continues to weigh up his options for the 2017 World Rally Championship.
The four-time world champion is without a drive for next season following Volkswagen’s shock withdrawal from the championship.
Keen to evaluate his options, the Frenchman jumped behind the wheel of the all-new Yaris WRC on wet tarmac and gravel roads in Spain.
Toyota has confirmed only Juho Hanninen for its return to the WRC after a 17-year absence, with Finns Esapekka Lappi and Jari Matti Latvala also linked to the team.
Speaking at Rally Australia, Ogier claimed he would make a decision on his future once he had tested the M-Sport Ford Fiesta and Citroen’s latest offering.
It has been reported that the 32-year-old will drive M-Sport’s 2017 Fiesta today with a move to the squad tipped as the strongest opportunity for next year.
