An engine is homologated by specs, not who/where it is produced?

I dont know who is going to produce the engines, or if it is Ilmor (BTW, are they still owned by Mercedes-Benz?), but I have heard...

Your ignorance is mind boggling :)

Matton as been very outspoken on the fact that he wants Neuville, and Citroën always sets the manufacturer title higher than the drivers title, so he wants to WRC drivers that can take points in...

I know you are not judging :)

But if you look at Hyundai, they´ve been in the WRC full time since 2014, and its only this year that they are really starting to make their mark.

Volkswagen had a...

Remember that this is still a team in its beginning. They are hard at work developing cars, building cars, testing cars, building a site, hiring people, etc etc. It is a huge task to have all this...

He is the fastest current Swedish rally driver, also faster than Pontus. Like Meeke he would challenge for best stage times.

A driver that could be intersting for Toyota is actually PG Andersson, he still have a lot of unfinished business in the WRC.

We already know who was NOT :)

In the Greek interview with Zotos its a lot of "me", and in the statement from the team its a lot of "we", so that can be a factor?

Knowing a thing or two about Norse mythology I would doubt you qualify for a ride trough the gates of Valhalla, so maybe its a bit frisky to sell tickets for the ride? :)

I personally find the car very interesting, but also see it as quite differentiated compared to the "regular" WRC cars, which means that it can go either way.

Aerodynamics: In regards to the...

And off cource Andrew Cowan and Ralliart (with I believe is the team Tommi is basing his Toyota Gazoo Racing team on, all tough he is probably having the roles of both Cowan and Lasse Lampi.)

Great (I was looking for this)! And exactly my point. This is what Tommi is trying to recreate :)

Well, when you are an active championship driver, it is quite usual to have other drivers doing the development driving, and even if you get some hints on set up, its usually the driver him self that...

Citroën, Guy Frequelin. Most successful team in WRC history.

Ove "Påven" Andersson. Toyota TTE (the company that became TMG.)

(To name two)

That the team principal is a former driver doesnt...

Tommi is one of, if not the, best test driver(s) in WRC history. He has a very clear vision of how a WRC car should perform, some of it is very easily visible in the videos and pictures that have...

I am guessing that after the first spy shots the other teams are already starting to up their aero-work.

But we dont know their objectives do we?

Mäkinen has earlier stated that he was going to work with BOS

What is that code?

I read it as:
Infinity divided by zero times one.

Is it an "indeterminate form", which can be interpreted like either "work in progress" or "indefinite possibilities", or am...

If Im allowed to be a design critic, I can say that there is some issues with the proportions.
The stubby nose has almost the same angle of attack as the wind shield, so You dont get the usual...

Tough the Mäkinen car will have similarities, this is the TMG car, so a bit early to judge the general design.
But for me, fast cars looks cool, so if its a winner it will automatically look cool :)

Hello stefanvv: To clar up a little misunderstandng: Mäkinen wants to develop a car that is 100% fast during Development testing. Pre Event Testing is another matter. But M¨kinen ha a very Clear...

Loeb with a limited program for Toyota, well... that would be interesting (and an absolute dream scenario).

Toyota/Tommi Mäkinen have several options:
- Thierry Neuville (Tommi would be the man...
