    This answer is worse than the question, and it wasn't an easy task.

    There's nothing wrong with the question. Lappi was presented as a test driver, who will do some rallies. So my question stands, why is it so important to know, when he will compete more than a month before it could happen?

    I understand that rally fanatics would gladly know every possible aspect, but don't be impatient.
    Never stop dreaming because one day it might happen.

    You could apply the same rationale to any question asked on the forum. In the grand scheme of life this is all irrelevant and unimportant. But here we are - talking to each other via a rally forum.

    I think it's a shame that Lappi can't talk about what he is doing this year still. If the plans are already in place, then why not make a positive news story out of it. If the plans are not in place - like I said, you have to wonder why. If Mikkelsen turns up in Portugal in the Yaris then for rally fans that would be important to know.

    I think it is shame Toyota doesn´t let Lappi drive at least some regional events to keep him sharp. Skoda did the same mistake that half year before Fabia R5 was released and Lappi was just sitting home. At the end these forced pauses in career may slow down his progress
    Visit South Moravia. It is the real paradise

    That's a good point, especially when Makinen's crew are running Fiestas for the two Japanese youngsters already.

    Well, he's not "just sitting home", that's for sure. He's doing recce for all rallies, doing testing and actually drove a zero-car in one Finnish Championship event as well in February.
