    Rumor has it hanninen might be brought in as a 4th driver as well depending on standings

    Nasser is capable of doing decent. Would be awesome do see Gronholm in a yota.

    How would that work? The fourth driver can't take manu points away from Ford or Hyundai and Hanninen won't finish ahead of Ogier or Neuville in any rally.

    In Finland it happened, so it could happen again; although it increase chances to take points away if rally2 happens Ogier or Neuville, or anybody else...

    More drivers are in no way a disantvantage, so if they have the budget, why not?

    I'd love to see Hanninen in the car again. But as a fourth driver he wouldn't be nominated for points in Finland. And with only two guys able to score manufacturer points anyway he would literally be invisible on the leaderboard. He's not helping anyone - except Toyota PR.

    But Toyota have budget and it would be a nice reward for Juho's testing duties to run a car on home ground where it is logistically very easy.

    It's another thing whether the team has resources for running four cars at once. It takes more than a fourth car, all the service stuff and some of the staff must be multiplied.

    Who knows, something Citroen/PHSport like could happen. There have been talks about MM- Motorsport starting to operate a Toyota B-team.

    They're not an advantage, either.

    As pointed out above, extra cars don't take away points from registered manufacturer points-scoring cars

    There's another championship besides the manufacturers you know. It may be less important to toyota, but not unimportant.

    No, it doesnt work. Only three drivers can be available to score points. Fourth car can take points only in drivers championship, not teams championship.
