Thank you to everyone who braved the Welsh weather last night. It was quite overwhelming to see so many of you turn out, and it’s hard to put into words how it felt to see you all there. Diolch i chi gyd!

A huge thank you to TGR for bringing the Yaris Rally1 over, to Dolgellau Town Council, Gwynedd Council, Lloyd’s Coaches, JDS Machinery, all the marshals and everyone who played a part in making it happen.

A special mention to Glenn for making it happen. It wouldn’t have been possible without you.

It’s a night I’ll remember for a very long time.
Diolch o galon!

What a way to finish the 2026 season! 🏆

I don’t have any words to really describe what it feels like, but I do have a huge sense of appreciation for everyone who helped, sacrificed and supported the journey to achieve this championship.

I won’t name any names, because I’m sure to leave someone out, but I want to extend a huge thank you to all my family for always believing in my dream and putting up with me being missing for half the year, and to all those who gave me opportunities in the early part of my career. To everyone at @tgr_wrc & the wider team for always pushing the limits for better, to our competitors for always keeping us on our toes, all my sponsors and partners for the support, our gravel crew for their thankless early starts and to all the fans & friends who supported us around the world, with a special mention for those who helped make our Sunday at the beach in Sardinia so memorable!

@scottymartin__ there is only one of you so you will get a special shout out! It’s been a pleasure to share this moment together after so many years of trying.

Thank you, diolch yn fawr! 🙌🏼

How was your weekend? 🏆👀

One more day...🇮🇹

It was quite a rough second pass, and perhaps a bit too conservative on the first two. Then Adrien got his puncture and dropped behind.
We gave it a go on the last stage, but it was evolving so fast that we didn’t have any chance to keep in front of him. As a consequence, our road position is definitely not ideal for tomorrow, as the first stage is probably the worst one in the whole rally for cleaning.

It’s all in, or nothing tomorrow! 👊🏼

#EE33 #RallyItaliaSardegna #ToyotaGAZOORacing

We have to keep at it! 👊🏼

The morning has been a clean one, the feeling is ok behind the wheel, but of course as we’ve seen the road is evolving quickly.
There are big gaps to the guys ahead of us and behind us on the road and we’ve got more to lose by trying to go quickly than trying to stay safe.
This afternoon the cleaning effect should be a bit less but of course we will have all of the roughness and the rocks to deal with so the target is to try and get through cleanly.

Tough day in Sardinia 🇮🇹

Not a bad start this morning, but a difficult afternoon in rough conditions. We managed to stay out of trouble, which was important, but struggled to deliver the pace.
We have a decent road position tomorrow, so we’ll see what we can do. It won’t be easy to close the gap, but we have to try to be there or thereabouts.

Still early days - we’ll keep at it 👊🏼

Friday morning done in Sardinia ✅

Everything’s been going ok and the feeling is ok in the car, obviously we aren’t in the best position as the first opening the road and some stages worse than others for cleaning, the last one especially was quite bad.
Of course, some guys behind have picked up a lot of punctures so hopefully that’s not a sign of things to come on the second pass.

Let’s see what this afternoon has to offer!

Sweeping the Sardinian stages 🇮🇹

#EE33 #RallyItaliaSardegna #ToyotaGAZOORacing

It’s rocky and rough in Sardinia 🇮🇹

It’s always a tough event here, and it’s exceptionally dry out there. The stages look loose but quite soft too, so we expect them to change a lot with each passing car, especially between the first and second pass.
We’ve got our work cut out. The aim is to be quick and keep it clean, let’s see how it goes 👊🏼

It’s been great to see so many Welsh flags already! Thanks for all your support, diolch yn fawr 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
