Is there any logic in using a completely inexperienced driver for testing?
I can see the logic in developing the driver for the future, but in terms of the car..

Something in English also. Not as comprehensive as compared to Finnish news, but something nonetheless.

In the beginning, TMG said they know how to do things and that they will build the best car in the world - and offered Tommi a leading role in their project. That didn´t suite Tommi´s (or Mr. Toyoda´s) plans/ideas of how things should be done, and at that point Tommi made it clear he (his team) would want to take over the designing/building of the car as well. So at least to Jouhki, TMG´s role in this operation is still a bit unclear ("some co-operation will be done").
Also talking about Suninen´s situation, contract is with TMG so it is unclear how things continue with this Operation Tommi taking over.Last edited by Miika; 8th July 2015 at 14:17.

Honestly the whole thing is quite baffling. Sounds like Tommi wanted a larger slice of the project but admits that they don't actually have good enough facilities right now. TMG has expertise and literally everything you need to make the project work. But they've been sidelined?
Does anyone know who is undertaking the testing of the Yaris right now? TMG or Makinen? And who actually owns that car?
