The Suzuki Rally boss has said in Autosport that instead of killing the WRC project, due to the new proposed rules that a WRC car has to be based on S2000/Gr N - they will probably start the process of building a S2000 rally car.
If they do that we are up to 6 cartypes to choose from !!

Look at this "perhaps future" livery !!! :p :

Anyone that knows anything on what the future of the Toyota S2000 ?

Higgins has stopped driving it in BRC, and that was the last I heard.

Anyone that knows more ?

I have the feeling in Europe the Toyota S2000 is definitively a fiasco :rolleyes:

as far as i know they have the same problems as we had with the Polo. they still do not have the car in LHD due to steeringrack problems, and lot of small things still to solve.... we are happy to have all things sorted in the VW Polo S 2000 and thats why the car is starting to score good results... and in South Africa the Toyota is a good car on Gravel ( is Corolla and in LHD ).. and the Polo ran in Portugal on Pirelli due to the contact of the driver with Pirelli, but we are sure the car works better on the BF Goodrich.

Plus the corolla is an oooooold model. They should go on with the Auris, just hope they can work something out!

It is highly possible that Jaromír Tarabus will drive Punto S2000 from JM Engineering in 2008 season Czech International Championship. The driver said that there was 70% probability. He tested the car and he said he would like to try it before the end of season on Labská rally or Prague rallysprint show. This year he was driving Suzuki Ignis S1600 (once Swift) and was the main group A opponent to Josef Peták who will use Peugeot 207 S2000 from Racing Lions next year.

That's great news Mirek, I like his driving and also it would be good for the championship. :)

From my understanding, the first Auris is virtually completed here in SA ,the homologtion needs to be completed.

The south african works teams will run the Auris next season, the present works cars are already sold to privateers.
