Toyota Gazoo Racing WRT will field five GR Yaris Rally1 cars, including title contender Elfyn Evans, Takamoto Katsuta, Oliver Solberg, and Sami Pajari, alongside nine-time world champion Sebastien Ogier, who returns to the Greek stages.

Hyundai Shell Mobis World Rally Team will compete with three i20 N Rally1 cars for Adrien Fourmaux, Thierry Neuville, and Dani Sordo, aiming to replicate their success in recent years on the challenging gravel stages. The event combines intense competition with a showcase of modern, outward-looking Greece, featuring new stages, a revamped rally center, and a unique ferry transfer for crews.
