I dunno, the Portuguese might be able to be a better job of Rally GB... If they can get 100,000 people to turn up to a rallysprint... :DQuote:

Nothing new, btw if someone want to order a Polo RRC are they obliged to deliver one ? Am I right or wrong? :)
I wouldn't mind that at all. Some events already have adopted this kind of schedule this year (Acropolis, Sardegna) and on most other events the Sunday usually is only a short day with stages that could have been included in the previous days. It will also be a welcome change in the iternary's, because it's quite boring to see every day almost the same structure: 3 stages in the morning, lunch and service, and a re-run of the stages in the afternoon. More stages can easily be done in one day, and it doesn't have to affect the total distance of the rally. Just look at Ypres...Quote:

The Toyota Vitz RS (known as Yaris in some markets) will compete in the APRC’s FIA Two-wheel drive Cup, FIA Junior Cup and the Asia Cup.
The first international event for the Cusco TRD Vitz will be Round One of the 2013 APRC - Rally of Whangarei, New Zealand May 17-19th, followed by international rallies in Australia, Malaysia, Japan and finishing with December's Thailand Rally. The Toyota Vitz will be driven by twenty year-old New Zealander Michael Young and Australian co-driver Daniel Willson.
TRD Motorsport’s Group Manager for Planning and Promotions Mr Makoto Kohno said, “After a successful test for the Toyota Vitz RS at Rally Hokkaido in 2012, Toyota Racing Development is very pleased to join with the Cusco Racing team to take on the unique challenges of the FIA Asia Pacific Rally Championship. The APRC will enable us to further develop the Vitz into a very competitive rally car for the future”.
The Cusco Racing team is owned by Carrosser Corporation and its president Mr Tsutomu Nagase confirmed the company's plans for the Cusco-TRD Vitz, “ International rallying is central to our motor sport schedule in 2013 and we are very excited by this new project with Toyota Racing Development. Carrosser’s intention is to broaden its range of products and reach a wider group of motor sport fans in Japan and abroad. The two-wheel drive class is a growing part of the Asia Pacific Rally Championship and the Cusco-TRD Vitz will be very competitive in this category”.
Michael Young has been a regular driver for Cusco Racing since 2011, winning the APRC’s Junior Cup class in New Zealand and Australia in 2012. The New Zealander is looking forward to driving the Toyota Vitz, “It’s a new challenge and a great opportunity to be part of developing a new car. All the events in the Asia Pacific Rally Championship have very different surfaces and conditions - part of the challenge will be setting up the car to work in all those situations”.
“Starting on my home event will make the transition to a new car slightly easier and we have some ‘bench-mark’ stage-times to compare the Toyota Vitz to the Group N Proton Satria we used in 2012. The New Zealand roads are very fast and should suit the Vitz which has very good power to weight ratio”.
The Cusco-TRD Vitz team will be supported on the 2013 Asia Pacific Rally Championship by Dunlop Japan.
