    Juho confirms that he will do "development test" for TGR and as there's no actual WRC seats available, "being a
    test driver is the next-best thing if you want to be involved with rallying". He's also going to Monte Carlo, which is somewhat surprising, as I don't think he's lately been seen at events he's not attending as a participant (excluding the local Finnish events ofcourse). And regaring the current TGR line-up, he says that he's been "talking a lot with the guys about the car".
    This is what I posted a few months back before the news of Juho being let go was announced. Good to know my source was correct.

    I think what makes it unpleasant to look at however is that it looks clumsily bolted on. The wings of all the other cars look like a natural extension of the car whereas on the Yaris it looks like an alien third arm. Also, because of that you can't help seeing what the car looks like without the spoiler, so it looks like a racecar with all that bodywork at the front and then like a regular cheap hatchback at the back.

    Already announced a month ago http://www.motorsportforums.com/show...=1#post1165306

    Maybe Juho is driving a snow/ice crew car in Monte?

    That was the plan.. Safety Crew for Lappi, but it seems Toyota is in full swing to get ready for the season opener so they have not disclosed for sure. Crews are apparently working crazy hours.

    Latvala I think has Toni Gardemeister and Jakke Honkanen as safety crew. Not sure who will be the crew for Tanak.

    Latvala is gonna be fuming. According to him, he is the clear number one and Tanak and Lappi are his wingmen.

    Don't blame him, he was long in the shadow for a lot of years. Now he have a chance to be 1st driver. Tanak was only one year and he is pumped already.

    Tommi Mäkinen and Esapekka Lappi interviewed at the same place separately (in Finnish). Both are asked if Tänak brought knowledge or ideas to the team. Mäkinen tries to go around the question and deny they could use Tänak's ideas, whereas Lappi sais straight away "Yeah he had some great ideas, let's see when we can incorporate them"

    Lappi also says it's too early to think about the title, but maybe next year.

    Very interesting. Like I said before the inter-Toyota battle is probably what I'm most intrigued about this year.

    If this breaks Latvala again I'm going to stop watching the WRC out of depression.
