Toyota GR Yaris Rally2 Rally Monte Carlo 2026 Sébastien Ogier Red Bull

The Toyota GR Yaris Rally2 of Ogier in Monte Carlo, captured by Avant Slot in 1/32 scale

Avant Slot has reproduced this Toyota GR Yaris Rally2 with the official Red Bull livery that Sébastien Ogier drove in the 2026 Monte Carlo Rally with its usual precision. The reference AV52686B falls directly into the Modern Rally category and encompasses everything one could ask for in a high-end slot car: detailed resin body, top-level printing finishes, and a mechanical setup designed for both the discerning collector and the club racer.

Features and Highlights

• Resin body faithfully reproduced from the official Rally2 kit, complete with all its aerodynamic appendages and characteristic spoilers.
• Red Bull decoration printed in high resolution, respecting the corporate blue and red tones and the sponsors of the Monte Carlo 2026 livery.
• Numbering and graphics of the actual car, including race numbers and tyre stickers.
• Competition chassis with four-wheel drive (4WD), replicating the mechanical philosophy of the real GR Yaris.
• High-torque motor, calibrated to provide smooth and progressive response from low speeds.
• Standard guide compatible with the main track systems on the market.
• Quality contact braids, ready to race from the first moment.

Scale and Level of Detail

At a scale of 1/32, this Toyota GR Yaris Rally2 occupies the usual space of competition slot cars, with a track presence that does not go unnoticed. The resin body, a material in which Avant Slot has extensive experience, allows for the reproduction of reliefs, air intakes, and skirts with a definition unattainable in conventional injection plastic. The decals are integrated into the body itself, ensuring durability and a finish without bubbles or peeling.

Track Performance

The chassis's four-wheel drive system, combined with a low centre of gravity, provides remarkable stability in tight corners, precisely the type of layout that dominates the real Monte Carlo Rally. The weight distribution is balanced so that the guide maintains contact with the track even in the most abrupt direction changes. The setup is accessible for drivers of any level: it responds well with the factory configuration and allows for adjustments for those who want to push it to the limit on a club day.

Ideal for…

• Collectors of modern rally cars and pieces dedicated to Sébastien Ogier.
• Slot enthusiasts looking for a rally car with official seasonal decoration.
• Club racers competing in Rally2 or similar categories.
• Fans of Red Bull Racing in the world of off-road motorsport.

Considerations

As it is a high-quality handcrafted resin body, it is recommended to handle it carefully during assembly and transport. For cleaning the body, a slightly damp soft cloth is sufficient; avoid aggressive solvents that may affect the printing. If you plan to use it on track frequently, periodically check the condition of the braids and guide to maintain optimal electrical contact.

Sébastien Ogier and the 2026 Monte Carlo Rally

Few stories in the WRC are as long as Sébastien Ogier's with the Rallye Automobile Monte-Carlo. The driver from Gap has spent decades measuring his strength against the alpine roads that border the Mediterranean: dry asphalt that suddenly gives way to ice patches, snowfalls that change tyre choices between service and stage start, and nights of navigation where experience is worth more than any telemetry. Ogier has won in Monte Carlo more times than any other driver of the modern era, making this event his natural habitat.

In the 2026 edition, Ogier took the wheel of the Toyota GR Yaris Rally2, the homologated version for the Rally2 category of the legendary production GR Yaris. Against Rally1 prototypes, the Frenchman's challenge was different: to maximise a base car without the hybrid resources of the elite, something that requires an even finer reading of the terrain. With the unmistakable Red Bull livery that has accompanied him for much of his career, Ogier once again demonstrated that his sensitivity to managing mixed stages—where the coefficient of friction changes every metre—remains a competitive advantage that is hard to match. This participation is another chapter in a story that has made the French driver the absolute benchmark of the discipline and that Avant Slot has sought to immortalise with this meticulously crafted replica.
