I wonder if the deals to drive the new Yaris Rally2 are quite favorable which is attracting drivers from Skoda. The financial giant of Toyota could well subsidise them to a degree.

You should quote the source so we can judge the credibility...Quote:

As I wrote previously if I had budget I would choose to drive the Toyota Rally1 over the Ford. It's possible you are on to something, these drivers going into the Toyota group could also rent the Rally1. I can imagine a WRC2 season and 2 or 3 rallies in the Rally1.Quote:

Will Suninen stay at Hyundai with only rally2 drives? If Munster is stepping up to rally1, surely msport need another driver for rally 2?

You'd imagine so. It was only Bertelli who rented the yaris rally1 last season. Solberg and Loubet will definitely be trying to get some rally1 drives included next seasonQuote:
