    Yep, and it's great to notice that TMG is giving a positive contribution to TGR and Makinen's team. After the F1 disaster and Le Mans still unachieved win, I feared they would be the weakest link on Toy's rally venture. Gladly, they’re not.

    Seems like the "secret" partner for aerodynamic development is Mercedes F1 team @ Brackley.

    TMG is NOT building new engine for Yaris, ILMOR is.
    Should be in use at Rally Portugal

    Are they really allowed to make a completely new engine? Doesn`t the rules say You have to use the same homologated engine for 3 seasons? I`m not sure though..

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but i think new teams have 3 jokers?

    I don't know everything but I know a lot of small things and in my opinion pantealex is giving you wrong info.

    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 from a reliable source that the engine will no longer be produced by Toyota TMG, but by another source (and have no reason to doubt Pantealex), and it is supposed to be introduced before Rally Portugal.

    Yes it`s by specs and at least it has been very limited what you can change mechanically(I don`t know how it is with these new cars) so it would seem a bit strange to transfer something TMG designed to another company when they are quit limited in what they can change. I read Mercedes has a completely unique combustion chamber design in their F1 engines so maybe this is what TMR is after.. If Ilmor is part of Mercedes that is

    Mercedes bought the engine division of Ilmor in 2005 and stopped using the Ilmor name.

    The rest of the Ilmor company continued as an independent engineering company who also produce racing engines, see www.ilmor.com

    So what is now called Ilmor has nothing to do with Mercedes.
