Sticker on Door pillar of Corolla 1.2T

[st901]

On the door pillar of my 2020 Corolla 1.2t is a sticker as shown , does anyone know if there is any significance to the Toyota Motorsport GmbH , stage 2 reference or is this standard on all Corolla's ?

The car was purchased new from a UK Toyota dealer

 

Thanks

Mine is a 2024 1.8 hybrid.   It doesn't have a sticker quite like that.   On the passenger side door pillar it has a sticker with VIN, various weights, paint code, other stuff, but no mention of 'Motorsport' or 'Stage 2';   but mine is a hybrid, and post-facelift, so not comparing like with like.

Toyota Motorsport GmbH became Toyota Gazoo Racing Europe in 2020, and they develop motorsport vehicles. Presumably the sticker may indicate the car has had some performance enhancements. 

I would be inclined to either contact your Toyota dealer to see whether they know whether this is the case, or contact Toyota Gazoo Racing Europe, and quote the details on the sticker.

If it has had any enhancement, you will need to notify your insurer of what the enhancement is, as they may well consider it a modification - and it may affect your premium ......

The answer is pretty mundane what has happened is after this car was manufactured there was a change to an EU regulation and the car was not sold before the regulation change date came into affect meaning the original WVTA ( whole vehicle type approval ) was no longer valid, in order to sell the car Toyota had to apply for a stage 2 WVTA the sticker gives the newer WVTA approval number as e13*2007/46*2012, for stage 2 applications which have to be made on a car by car basis Toyota use their Motorsport division as they have a specialised department dedicated to making such applications
