Toyota announces WRC plans

The Toyota has looked a bit off the pace in testing, but for these tarmac test videos I'd rather wait and see how it looks when Hanninen is in the car. Tommi is driving it like the old man he is, so I'd like to see it when it's getting the arse driven off it by Juho. Toyota should also maybe give Bouffier a call, as he would be a good driver to test on tarmac and has good experience as a test driver. However this should've been done 6months ago, not weeks before homologation.....

Whereas the Fiesta has more on either side of the grill, blending into the front wheelarches...

I wonder who has it right ?

They both look silly to me, but the Fiesta does look more intricate and refined in this respect. The front bumper splitter on the Yaris looks particularly homemade.

The toyota looks slow in testing, the aero looks more like something out of one of those retarded max power magazines and the team is being assembled by nationality rather than skill. The team manager has photos of rival manufacturers in the official team garage, the lead engineer left mid project and the driver selection is worthless.

If you need to taste the pile of shit to find out its shit then go ahead.

Big sense of humour even if you´d not admit it. :)

They may not have tested the whole car, but it's entirely possible Ford gave them the bodywork some time ago to do their aero testing with in a tunnel. Of course we will never know for sure. But I agree, Ford does look the most complete for front end aero design, but I am no expert!!!
