    Hanninen certainly to be part of testing team. The project has been under way for some time. People were in Estonia last year a week after Rally Finland to start planning of the building and projects. It's nice to see other companies getting fully involved in the sport of Rally. Maybe other Japanese manufacturers will get involved. Honda has RX cars in GRC so why not.

    Why is there so little material for toyota testing to rally Mexico? Secrecy or lack of interest?

    Makinen said a Yaris WRC drive had always been on the horizon for Takamoto, but it could be brought forward after what he described as a "brilliant" drive from the 24-year-old.

    "The original plan and most natural place would be Rally Japan in 2019, if this is going ahead," said Makinen.

    "But you never know - if we can do something else, something sooner, then let's see.

    Toyota not concerned over Mexico failures

    “and still we have something to learn – we’re getting fed-up with learning, but we will be back here next year with the solution for the cooling.”


    lol


    Järveoja said that they were jokin with Ott on Friday that their car was like a disco club with all the flashing alarm lights. They could somehow manage it and keep the pace up but said there was nothing they could do about the turbo problem.

    Fabulous drives by Lappi and Ott! Improving the car mid-rally also tells me that the team is functioning at a high level. Very pleased. Let's finish the deal tomorrow!
