I have never said Toyota put same money into WRC as VW did. I said Toyota had enough resources to do so. What I wanted to say is that there was no sense at all to play with brand reputation by...

Yes, VW used its power to make the WRC friendly for itself and while we may not like it it's another achievement it managed.

My point was that Toyota's effort shall and will be compared with VW...

The very first start of Octavia WRC on Monte 99. Schwarz and Sibera both retired before SS1 due to technical problems in the cold weather.

Thanks, so it was similar with Škoda few years earlier :)

Just like VW. The point is that VW and Toyota are very much the same kind of animal on the car market. They are the two biggest giants in the arena and they have huge money available for achieving a...

Wasn't it Škoda's first WRC start or Peugeot failed so hard too? I don't remember anymore :(

It's development year for all teams. That's why these forced restarts via change of rules are done from time to time. The aim is to bring all teams on the same start line (of course not totally...

That's 2016 car.

It was said officially already some time a go that Toyota would have third car available only in April or so. Lappi signed before VW announced their end in WRC and became simply a victim of the...

Has been involved in development of successful rallycar :)

Because You write nonsense. Downforce can not make a car to understeer because downforce has no inertia... Of course unless we speak about downforce only at the back which would lift the front end...

And You base Your statement on what? You know that traction (both in acceleration and deceleration) is a function of downforce and that the adhesion of gravel is way lower than of circuit tarmac?

The funny thing is that Yaris is a lot bigger than MG Metro. Metro is reasonably smaller than today's smallest cars like Ford Ka.

Did it really happen? I know there were some plans about that but that's all I know. Anyway there are areas here where You can test without public so maybe they were here.

I hope You are wrong. I can't imagine that to be true with just few weeks remaining before homologation process starts.

Don't You think that if the drivers actually believed in Toyota success they would be willing to switch teams just like Ogier did with VW or Neuville did with Hyundai? They both went into unknown...

Sorry? I have nothing more to say about the subject.

Name any successful team which managed to change the complete team structure, the team location and the car design during the development phase, which managed to change technical director again after...

Per, even the blind must see that there is something wrong with the Toyota team. As people say there's no smoke without a fire and there has been a lot of smoke going from Mäkinen's team. We all saw...

I expect Citroën to be quicker ;):cool:

Although I really like Juho I think that this line-up is at best very risky.

Now I understand that it's two different things mixed together - stock base model and a WRC car. To put it in one sentence like GigiGalliNo1 did make it having a different meaning, i.e. that the test...

Sorry but it's obvious that it's not true.

Clearly isn't.
