Historical background: The Toyota Celica GT-Four was one of the most famous rally cars of its time. It was created to meet homologation requirements for participation in the World Rally Championship (WRC). The Celica GT-Four won many titles, including the World Drivers' Championship in 1992 with Carlos Sainz behind the wheel and the World Manufacturers' Championship in 1993 and 1994. It was the first Japanese brand to successfully compete in the WRC with an all-wheel-drive and turbocharged car, paving the way for other Japanese manufacturers in this prestigious racing series.
