I think the rules state that a driver can't score points for both the main team and the satellite team within the same season. Thus Toyota wouldn't have a "NG Team" in 2024 at all, Katsuta would be...

If Toyota are third and sixth in manu points in Catalunya, they are manufacturer champions, even if Hyundai gets 1-2 on overall rally results and power stage. And remember that sixth place could come...

That's a different question altogether.

Solberg brings lots of positive media attention and maybe even Monster sponsor money? Also he's a definite future prospect worth investing in.

Hiring a driver is not as simple as "this is the best performing driver out there". It's about getting a "package" and being there at the right place at the right time. Lappi has been with the team...

Also some new parts were tested

I heard a rumor that Toyota changed some service from Microsoft to Amazon and the deal went with that.

I personally...

I would say he's among the decision makers, not being a dictator, but with the final responsibility for any decision.

Also, he will give interviews and be the media person for the team.

Developing aero parts for a current car is different than making a whole new car. You cannot just focus on one element, everything affects everything. Also the homologation process of the whole car...
