I think the original plan was that Lappi would not drive in Australia so maybe the budget was for two cars all along.

If Hanninen is sadly on his way out it makes no sense for him to drive Australia.
I also heard Toyota was going to be the official sponsor which would be a shame if they only had two cars.
I’m assuming if Hanninen loses his position he is most likely going to take a back seat from WRC?

Wouldn't the same apply for Wales as well (or for Germany, if everything had been lined out prior to that)?
If (and unfortunately seemingly when) Hänninen loses his seat at TGR, he'll call it a day. That's almost certain, I'd say.
But yes, it's really unfortunate if we're to lose Hänninen after this season. I personally have been following his career quite closely since 2004, so it'll be somewhat different next season (or so it seems).

It's because they are way over budget and have to save money. Sad for Hanninen.

Yes no need to spend a million dollars just because you have it.

M-Sport/ Ford have been testing using a 'simulator' in the USA. They say its helped improve the Puma Rally1 car, especially for tarmac. Does anyone know what this simulator could be like ? Story...
