My local newsagent told me the issue won't be here until 12th! The joys of living 'up country', I suppose!! Perhaps some Tokyo-based forumer can pick up a copy, today.Quote:

My colleague follows all the WTCC season from the circuits, and he said it's possible to see Subaru for the first time in a works programme on track (WTCC) and Toyota in rallying, sharing the chassis and the engine of the FT-86 project.Quote:

I won't be convinced about this news on Toyota's return to WRC until it's official. However, based on all the news coming out in last couple weeks in Japan, it is definitely true that Toyota is considering a return to a major international motorsport scene and WRC is one of the candidates, perhaps a strong candidate. And as far as I know, Toyota is interested in the form of motorsports in which they can promote their specific road model. I read somewhere that Toyota is not interested in prototype racing at the moment.
Now Subaru is under Toyota management, so I don't think there won't be Subaru return if Toyota does but Toyota can return under the Subaru brand.
Since when has Subaru been under Toyota management? :confused:
Probably about a year now? maybe 18 months.Quote:

Closer to around or just above 40% now
I know Toyota bought about 17% of FHI from GM.Quote:
