I applaud Camilli for carving out a career as a, mainly, test driver so far, very clever. Of course, he wants to be competing, but after 2016 his career could have been over. Having the conversations and agreeing to test the Polo R5, new Fiesta R5 and now the C3 WRC means he has a depth of knowledge across many different cars and teams, which as each test passes, becomes more valuable to each team who is looking for help.
Also did a good portion of the Ford Fiesta WRC 2017 development in 2016.
But don't forget Kalle will do full seasons starting from next year. However, it's clever on their side to check their options for the future (past 2027), however with all due respect to Katsuta,...
As discussed in the TGR Thread, some think that Toyota are close to a 'crisis point' with their full-time driver's this season. Evans and Katsuta just aren't cutting it.
Plus rally leading Ogier...
That sounds like a compelling argument.
But then how come many manufacturers still can and do sell small cars ?
These are just the best-sellers...
Toyota Yaris
Honda Jazz
Renault Clio...
