The Festival of Speed is the perfect place for manufacturers to remind us of all the cool cars they\u2019ve made over the years, and this year Toyota will be shouting about their historic rally warriors.Toyota has not been shy to go racing over the years \u2013 to prove their models\u2019 metal – and for the Festival of Speed they\u2019re going to bring together three generations of the Celica GT-Four on the rally stage, letting lose the rumble, burble and boom of their most successful World Rally Championship racecars.The ST185 will be first off the blocks, 20 years after winning Toyota\u2019s first WRC manufacturer\u2019s title, as well as a driver\u2019s championship for famous flying Finn, Juha Kankkunen. The Celica ST165 and ST205 will also be taking to the Goodwood special rally stage, with the curvy ST205 the inspiration for many a Celica GT-Four road-going fantasy. The Celica GT-Four\u00a0 is still a highly respected (and rapid!) road car \u2013 you must build road car versions of the prospective competition car to go rallying under the homologation rules \u2013 with used GT-Fours from around \u00a33k representing pretty pukka performance value.The three Toyota heritage rally Celicas, which claimed 30 WRC victories between them, will be joined by the mighty Group B Celica twin-turbo TA64, one of the most powerful rally cars ever, as well as the championship-winning Corolla WRC.Another famous rallying Toyota\u2013 albeit less snarly than the turbo beasties \u2013 will also be on rally-show; the wonderful rear-driving, high-revving 1.6-litre Yamaha engine-powered Corolla AE86. The car that I learned to do donuts in! These so-nimble little beauties are rare and expensive these days, and while they only made about 120bhp from the factory, in the right rallying hands, they\u2019re still one of the very best on the rough ‘n’ muddy stuff.Celica ST185, one very famous Toyota rallying shape\u00a0Celica ST165Celica ST205.
