I doubt they're allowed to
They tested the Yaris WRC as well: http://www.rallye-magazin.de/rallyes...chs/index.html
Lappi didn't get permission from Skoda.
A long video of Toyota testing in Italy.

For f*ck sake that car infuriates me. Why would we want to see a car that tiny competing at the very top level of rallying? I hope that the 2017 regs do specify larger cars. My biggest bugbear about the current cars is that they're all these tiny shopping trolleys that look barely any different to one another. The Yaris is so small they had to get special dispensation from the FIA about 2 years ago to allow it to be eligible.
Before anyone gives me any shite about the cars needing to be relevant or being the models that sell the most and these are what is more marketable - it doesn't matter if the end product (the WRC) suffers. Part of improving the promotion of the WRC will be having more exciting, interesting, desirable cars competing. Send this to the scrapheap and get that GT86 fully developed!
LOOOOL... ohh lord.
The tendency says otherwise - next generation WRC cars will be even smaller. Smart perhaps?!?:D
Did you have the old 205s and Renault 5s the same way? I like the current generation of cars, really twitchy and look on the edge because of their short wheelbases. Much prefer this generation to the C4/Focus one before it.
Good to see Toyota trying out so many of the talented youngsters, although I hope they're thinking about a 2016 entry rather than later; it'd be ridiculous to have these guys 'stuck' in RWD R3 cars for two years waiting for a chance to compete.
