Yeah I'd say that's a rally car...Due to it having racing signage and being operated (at what seems like high speeds) off road.
The tyres are that narrow as it is on snow. Driving with hella wide tyres on snow is like driving with slicks in the rain...

ahh 
the background didnt occur to me to be snow, so i just assumed the car to be stationary on a whitewashed background 
in that case, i would say it is definitely a new rally car

I walked past a black one a few hours ago, theyre everywhere here, every model of corolla is here in 2 door, all the way back to KE70's etc. 4 door models are rare as.
have to say the wide body kit looks a bit of alright.

You wouldn't want to run fat rubber on ice would you?
The skinny tires are used on the ice too maximise the weight on the wheels. It's also the same when their on dirt.
BTW
GO THE YARIS
Finally someone has found a use for it

Speaking of Prost I have a autograph of his on the bill of an Italian restaurant from adelaide. My uncle was having dinner there after one of the grand prix in adelaide and so was the ferrari team. My uncle said he'd had his fun the the autograph and gave it to us yay.

The Echo/Yaris (they are the same car) is a completely vehicle to the Corolla.
That one is barely even a Corolla.
Half the panels are probably fibreglass/carbon fibre, the glass will be all perspex, & more than likely, the engine is where the back seat used to be & its driving all 4 wheels.
Yes, it will be LHD, but there's a seat for a co-driver.
Generally these things are rallycross cars with a few changes for driving on ice.
Check out the rear wheel steering.
With this, they can have a power slide past 45 degrees & still recover it.
