What relevance is testing on a combined gravel and tarmac stage?
Catalunya?Quote:

Nice to hear is being rev-ed properly, engine actually sounds nice,
Are the dimensions a but weird, it looks tall and narrow compared to the others?
But they change the set up overnight for Catalunya, not do a stage that has both surfaces.Quote:

There is actually quite a lot of running with gravel set up on tarmac, off course Catalunya, but also on Super Specials.Quote:

But you always learn something by testing on different grip levels.
Remember that the Toyota is still very early in development and its good to get a lot of different experience n different grip levels to try to understand the car and chassis.
We saw in the Ogier-test that Toyota has some struggles in low grip (tarmac), so could be good in this respect.

I wonder why after so many years with smatphones people are not able to shoot videos properly (horizontally).
Potentially requires both hands?Quote:

Another little clip from Yaris
https://www.facebook.com/LaTulaSport...53981814515404
Completely new rear end: wing, diffuser, mudguard air ducts.
Call me stupid, but to me this car looks promising. On past videos it was rarely pushed to the limit but it never looked nervous or permanently weird behaving. There was some doubtfull cornering but it depends a lot on diff. maping.
Specialy the aero of the yaris looks far more forward thinking than ford or even C3, i20 it far behind with its bigger ground clearance.
Looks completely different to the last videos - in a positive way.Quote:

Has Ogier decided yet ?
And who for Ford ?
[QUOTE=dimviii;1116034]yes rear door seems completely different
Same base car. New Yaris only to be released in late '17. Car looks different because of the side protection.
You can clearly see completely different rear lights in-line with the other latest Toyota models. It's at least a facelift.
I mean the back door,not the rear side doors.If you watch carefully under the camouflage at the last photo, the rear left tail light seems to be completely different from now existing yaris.
In a few days we'll see it clearly.
As I have said many times: Itīs different than current 2016 road model.
yes but how can be different when the stock yaris will released much later than wrc yaris?Quote:

Agree... The Toyota is now shared last with Msport on my (all important world changing *ahum*) looks list.Quote:

This plus it's just politics after all . One can expect that FIA and the promoter encourage the manus in various ways.
