I have to admit they are above my expectations but I wonder how much of it is down to Latvala.

Eventhough they have two capable drivers in Latvala and Lappi now I doubt they can overtake Hyundai. Neuville and Sordo usually take home a good bag of points unless the hickups of the i20 are going to continue.
They will pretty surely stay above Citroen though.
I think if there was a mid term report card for Toyota the bottom line would be :"Exceeded Expectations".
what is impressive about them ? the fact that they have a driver who won 3-4 events each year and now struggles to be in top 3 ? the fact that they trail a private team ?Quote:

whoa!!!, this article claims they will test for poland here in estonia! i hope we will get to know where!!! http://www.is.fi/ralli/art-2000005251370.html
and Mäkinen again saying he is interested in Tänak http://www.is.fi/ralli/art-2000005251932.html?ref=rss
for some reason google translate wont translate these sites for me, you have to copy the text.
Basically Mäkinen says they need winners to succeed and they're always interested in a driver like that. It's just the magazine's "own sources" which claim that "Mäkinen has been interested in Tänak for a while".
Nothing too special information in the articles. They are considering a test event in Finland (Autoglym Ralli). There's also new software and some improvements in the motor and reduction of weight for the car.
