Toyota announces WRC plans

I've read that the rumour started during Monza Rally Show, and that the Italian team would probably be ProCar...

I also find it hard to believe though.

Already two years a go there were rumors that Toyota would start with supplying cars for private teams before entering itself.

when was the last time an italian site had correct information ?

Not likely; but their WEC programme uses Oreca as well as their own people/ facilities.

Seems they want just a kind of partner. Maybe their factory can't fulfill both programmes (and customers activities too), so they're thinkin to do part of the work in joint-venture with an external structure... just like in WEC way with French Oreca, as AndyRAC well said.

Toyota with Motorsport Italia? So... Toyota gives up WRC before entering :confused:

WTF is actually going on here?? Surely toyota wouldn't let a mediocre italian firm head up a wrc programme for them? I struggle to believe this...

Toyota with Motorsport Itália is a good way of not entering on the WRC :D

We've seen how it went with the Mini JCW WRC :p
