The Toyota GR Yaris Rally2 of Cachón in Japan 2025 arrives on track in your hands with Avant Slot

The reference AV52611 from Avant Slot materialises one of the most exciting moments of recent Spanish rallying: the Toyota GR Yaris Rally2 with which Alejandro Cachón and his co-driver Borja Rozada tackled the Rally of Japan 2025, showcasing the unmistakable Repsol livery. A piece that appeals to both the collector seeking historical fidelity and the club racer wanting an agile, competitive car that is well planted on the track.

Features and Highlights

• Pad printed body with the Repsol decoration in orange, red, and white, faithfully reproducing the graphic details of the real car from the Rally Japan 2025.
• Avant Slot latest generation chassis with tilt adjustment, designed to adapt to different track profiles and driving styles.
• Reduced wheelbase resulting in very direct response in tight corners and sections with quick direction changes.
• High torque motor providing clean and consistent acceleration, suitable for both home circuits and club competitions.
• Rear-wheel drive system with factory-calibrated axles and competition wheels ensuring consistent grip.

Scale and Level of Detail

As is customary with Avant Slot, the level of detail of this reference is well above the average in the segment. The body of the GR Yaris Rally2 recreates the muscular shapes of the Rally2 homologation model: widened wheel arches, rear wing, and air intakes that accurately replicate the aerodynamic elements of the real car. The tinted windows, mirrors, and underbody details complete a presentation that withstands the scrutiny of the most demanding collector.

Track Performance

The Avant Slot chassis is designed for a balance between manoeuvrability and top speed. The tilt adjustment allows for compensation of irregularities on different types of track, while the mass distribution favours predictable driving that is easy to correct. It is a car that responds well to both the driver seeking consistency in fast laps and those who prefer a more aggressive handling in late braking. The guide works smoothly in the tight arcs typical of rally layouts on circuit.

Ideal for…

• Modern rally collectors following Alejandro Cachón's career and the WRC2 championship.
• Fans of the Repsol livery looking to expand their display with limited edition pieces linked to real events.
• Club racers competing in Modern Rally categories seeking a factory-prepared car with good performance.
• Any slot enthusiast wanting an Avant Slot car with real history behind it.

Points to Consider

As with all competition slot cars, it is advisable to check the condition of the braids and guide before the first running sessions. If used on Sport track systems (Scaleauto, Slot.it), it may be necessary to adapt the guide. For fine-tuning performance, Avant Slot offers its own spare parts that facilitate model preparation without the need for irreversible modifications.

History: Alejandro Cachón and the Rally of Japan 2025

Alejandro Cachón is one of the Asturian drivers who has most convincingly made the leap from national rallying to the World Championship stage. Trained on Spanish roads, Cachón built a solid progression in WRC2 that led him to compete in several rounds of the world calendar alongside his usual co-driver Borja Rozada. The Rally of Japan, held around Nagoya and Toyota City, is one of the most special events on the calendar: it takes place on narrow asphalt roads surrounded by forests, with technical profiles demanding maximum precision and concentration. Competing in Toyota's home turf, with the technical and emotional support that entails, adds a special symbolic weight to any team carrying the Japanese manufacturer's logo on the hood.

In the 2025 edition, Cachón and Rozada arrived with the experience accumulated from several WRC2 rounds and the confidence that comes from driving a well-tuned GR Yaris Rally2. The Repsol decoration, historic in Spanish motorsport, enhanced the team's visibility in an event with enormous media coverage in Asia. Their performance on the Japanese stages, combining speed with intelligent risk management, confirmed Cachón as one of the references of Spanish rallying in the junior category of the world championship. This Avant Slot model captures that moment in 1/32 scale, turning a chapter of recent rally history into an object that can be owned, enjoyed, and raced.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the car ready to run or does it need prior preparation?

Yes, the AV52611 comes factory-ready to run. However, as with any new slot car, we recommend checking the guide adjustment and the condition of the braids before the first session to ensure everything is at its optimal point.
