    Toyota announces WRC plans

    Here is a link to Best Car magazine in Japan. You can see the cover of their next issue, which is due out on Monday. The headline says something like
    "Toyota confirms WRC participation!!"

    I read somewhere Sarrazin was one of the two test drivers. Don't remember the other name...

    jbmarcus21 was fast. Bravo

    Lindholm is the second test driver.

    I thought Toyota said no entry to the WRC before 2017? It seems a little strange that they would spend over 2.5 years to develop a car, no? Surley if they have a car built now, it could be ready for 2016 or even 2015.

    I know there are major rule changes for '17, but they don't know what they are yet, so why build a car which is probably be aligned with current regs (well, what else?) and never run it in competition?
