About the Toyota GR Yaris Rally1 #5 S. Pajari / E. Malkonen Rally Kenya 2025 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Toyota GR Yaris Rally1 reproduces Sami Pajari and Enni Malkonen's #5 car from the 2025 Safari Rally Kenya, one of the WRC's most demanding gravel rounds. The sealed one-piece body carries the Gazoo Racing livery unbroken across every panel, with tampo-printed graphics representing the current Rally1 hybrid-era works entry.

Safari Rally Kenya punishes cars and crews alike, rough gravel, sharp rocks and long stage distances that have made it one of the WRC's most respected rounds since its return to the calendar. IXO's 1:18 Toyota GR Yaris Rally1 captures the #5 entry Sami Pajari and Enni Malkonen campaigned there in 2025, built as a sealed display casting rather than an opening-panel model.

A One-Piece Body Built for Livery Accuracy

IXO built its reputation covering WRC rally fields broadly rather than chasing a handful of hero liveries, and this GR Yaris sits within that current Rally1 generation coverage, reproducing the 2025 Safari Kenya entry down to its specific car number and crew. The body is a sealed casting, with no doors, bonnet or tailgate hinging open, a construction choice common at this scale and price point that trades interior access for exterior precision. Shut lines run as continuous, consistent grooves rather than interrupted by hinge tolerances, which matters enormously on a rally livery where sponsor graphics and the Gazoo Racing colour blocks need to track across the entire bodyside without a visible break. The wide wheel arches and underbody protection plates, both genuine features of the current Rally1 regulations, are captured as cast detail rather than left generic.

Tampo Printing and the Gazoo Racing Colours

Toyota's current Rally1 livery uses bold red and white panels broken up with sponsor branding, and IXO reproduces that scheme through tampo printing rather than decals, which keeps the graphics flat against the body surface. The number 5 and crew names sit exactly where period photographs from Kenya show them, and the printing holds sharp edges under close inspection rather than blurring at panel transitions. For a modern works rally subject, that print quality is the single most important factor separating a convincing replica from an approximate one. That combination of a sealed shell and sharp printing is exactly what a current-generation Rally1 subject demands.

Pajari, Malkonen, and the 2025 Safari Rally

Rally Kenya's Reputation in the Modern WRC

Toyota's current works line-up fields Sami Pajari alongside co-driver Enni Malkonen in the Rally1 hybrid era, and the Safari Rally in Kenya remains one of the championship's toughest tests of car and crew. Since its return to the World Rally Championship calendar, Rally Kenya has built a reputation as one of the toughest rounds on the schedule, its rough gravel tracks, extreme heat and long stages punishing suspension and crew endurance in equal measure. Few events test a Rally1 car's durability as thoroughly, which is part of why a strong result there carries particular weight for a manufacturer's championship campaign and gives this specific livery genuine competitive context.

The Rally1 Hybrid Era

Toyota's GR Yaris Rally1 competes under the current hybrid-powered regulations introduced to the WRC's top class, pairing a turbocharged engine with an electric motor and running on sustainable fuel, a significant technical shift from the purely combustion-powered cars of earlier Rally1 generations. Pajari represents the newer generation of Toyota drivers coming through the team's development pipeline, and a model capturing a specific 2025 entry documents that current era rather than recycling an older, more familiar livery. That currency is worth noting for anyone building a season-by-season WRC collection. Few manufacturers field as consistent a Rally1 programme as Toyota's current squad, making this a genuinely representative snapshot of the team's 2025 campaign.

Placing a Current Rally1 Car on the Shelf

At 1:18, this GR Yaris sits comfortably alongside other current Rally1 entries from Hyundai and Ford, letting a collector build a season snapshot across manufacturers rather than a single-brand display. IXO's broad WRC coverage, spanning many events and crews across a season, makes assembling that kind of comparative shelf genuinely achievable rather than a matter of chasing scarce limited runs. The sealed body keeps the price accessible against opening-panel alternatives, a fair trade for a subject whose real appeal lies in livery accuracy rather than cabin detail. For anyone following the current WRC season as it happens, a model documenting a specific 2025 round like Kenya adds a dated, researchable entry rather than a generic team-colours casting. That specificity is what rewards a collector who watched the season unfold.
