As the racing world gears up for another thrilling season, Alejandro Cachón, the 26-year-old Spanish rally driver, has unveiled his ambitious plan to take the world stage by storm. Just a year ago, Cachón was introduced as a key player in Toyota’s newly formed team, aiming to make a splash in the Spanish Superchampionship. Now, with a successful season under his belt, he’s ready to put his skills to the test on the world stage. The “Volador” from Cangas has come a long way since his impressive debut in the SuperCER, where he claimed two consecutive victories in Asturias. Today, he’s a more seasoned pilot, having found his footing and refined his skills during his first campaign with the Toyota GR Yaris Rally2.
Cachón’s impressive track record from last season, which included four wins, four second-place finishes, and a third-place finish, has convinced Toyota España to back his bid for the World Rally Championship (WRC2). This is a bold move for the Spanish team, as they look to put Cachón in the spotlight alongside the best of the best in the WRC2. The young driver’s progress has been nothing short of remarkable, and his dedication to the sport is evident in the way he’s evolved as a pilot. With Toyota’s support, Cachón is now poised to take on the world’s top drivers and prove his mettle in the WRC2.

Cachón has confirmed a seven-rally program, kicking off with the Islas Canarias, where he secured his first win with the Yaris last year. This event will be part of the World Rally Championship for the first time, taking place at the end of April. He’ll be joined on the circuit by fellow Spanish driver Jan Solans, who will also be competing in the WRC2 category with a Toyota backed by Teo Martín and sponsored by the government of the Philippines. Solans, who won the Rally de Portugal last year, will be a strong contender in the WRC2.
The racing scene is abuzz with excitement as other notable drivers, such as the Paraguayan Diego Domínguez, the current WRC3 champion, and his co-driver Rogelio Peñate, join the Alcorcón team. Meanwhile, Diego Ruiloba, another star of the SuperCER 2024, is expected to make the leap to the international stage with Citroën. With so much Spanish talent on display, the WRC2 is sure to be filled with thrilling competitions and eager fans cheering on their favorite drivers.
As the season unfolds, Cachón’s journey will be one to watch, with his Toyota GR Yaris Rally2 and his unwavering determination making him a force to be reckoned with on the world stage. Will he be able to replicate his success from last season and make a name for himself in the WRC2? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – the world of rally racing is in for a treat with Cachón and his fellow Spanish drivers taking the reins.
