Confused; is there a plan with the Italians or not?
If I was the boss of TMG I would try to buy out 2-3 top guys from VW Motorsport, they have proved themselves!!
Obviously there's a plan, but first-step is build the car. Then development will be done in co-operation with Motorsport Italia. That's what was written by Rally Emotion magazine. Hope will be soon delivered to my newsagent, as I could look if there's more news about that...Quote:

Conversations about what?
Asia Pacific Rally Championship have announced new eligibility rules and mention potential under new criteria for Toyota Yaris (Vitz) to be built into R3 equivalent. http://fiaaprc.com/2013/12/aprc-opens-door-cars-2014/
A bit more on the Toyota WRC project here.
First test kilometres set to be this year - with Stephane Sarrazin at the wheel.
But no confirmed entry - just high interest and potentially nothing until 2017!

Talk about dragging it out.
Apart from Sarrazin testing, which I expected him to do, not really any solid 'news'.
Are they waiting for rules/ regs changes? Or, is it on hold until the WEC and/ or Le Mans win - which isn't certain either. The F1 programme burnt them badly; and spending big money is a no/ no. They almost competing with one arm tied behind their back.

Well, that should mean we could see Toyota training logistics in some WRC or ERC-events from 2015 and on? They also have to do testing with current prototype on some events in the years before, wouldn´t they?
