any further update on this?
a Rallycross Rally Hillclimbing group stated that Toyota was 100% coming back to WRC, but no source was given... so, i am taking it with a grain of salt until an official announcement is made.
When i saw this thread i had big hopes.
They got the Le Mans program going but I guess no room for a WRC program then?
Hmm, Peugeot withdrawing from endurance racing and Jean Todt on about hybrids coming to wrc. Is that enough to tempt Toyota?
No smoke without fire? From everywhere comes rumours about Toyota's interest of joining in... Hopefully it'll turn out true someday.
They should have never abandoned WRC to join the ladyboy F1 sport...
They had exposure, sponsoring, many fans and their cars were the most popular among private WRC entries... but they choose a girl sport instead of Rallying, lost millions for nothing and if they want to come back now they have to fight against the experiience of Citroen and the aggresive coming of the VAG Group... good luck with that.
One Youtube commenter said that Toyota would join the WRC next year, and that his "friend" was working on it. I could see Toyota joining the WRC if WRCars become hybrid. Maybe that could tempt Honda? Of course, people who post comments on Youtube are not the most trust worthy people out there, so do not take this seriously. Rallye-Magazin.de did say that Toyota ordered parts for a WRCar. I think Toyota will focus on LeMans for now and maybe wait until the WRC allows hybrids or does something that Toyota likes. TMG did build a Yaris R1, so maybe that is a precursor to a WRC program.
I wish Toyota would come to the WRC but only with a more exciting car than the Yaris, I mean its not in the same league as a DS3 or Fiesta RS in terms of "hot-hatchness". Would Toyota expect the FIA to organize an event in Asia/Japan if it was to seriously commit?

Toyota Mulls Return to Le Mans, WRC
This article is a little over a year old but still makes a good read
Also the Japanese have a thing about the number 13. Can't see them wanting to make a debut in 2013 if they were to develop a car.
its all about politic... if it was up to tmg, they already had a wrc car ready.
the japanes want to finish the Le Mans program first and then they will go into wrc. Tmg are now making some cup cars on the yaris and also working on the homoligation on the new gt86 that also will be a cup car made from tmg. And that will be a fun car new rwd rally car...
and after that the new wrc coming.
They going step by step becouse when they go into wrc now it is to win.
Nope. Just look at Subaru S11 S12 S12b S12c S14 see the pattern. Its a cultural thing, don't know the reasoning behind it though.Quote:

I used to travel to Japan about 13 times each year and I never heard about this superstition. The planes even flew on the 13th.
Sounds like Toyota is developing a R-GT version of the GT-86.

Toyota has the budget to do WRC and LeMans combined. Toyota could easily outspend the big teams in WRC, if they wanted to.
WRC.com article
World Rally Championship - News - Toyota linked to WRC entry
Well, today I had a quick browse of the latest copy of the magazine that I quoted in this thread's original post. Best Car's content mainly concerns new car scoops and this issue was no exception, prefacing a host of future models, many coming from Toyota.
Pix (photoshopped?) of two performance versions of the new Yaris caught my eye, so I skimmed through the story about them. Both are based on the 3-door platform, which is not sold in Japan.
The first was named GRMN? and will go on sale in Australia next year. It will feature a turbocharged 1.5 litre engine..hmmm!
The magazine calls the second model, shown with a Focus WRC like rear wing, the 'road- going version of the WRC model'. Possibly to be named 'RS' and to be built by TMG, it will go on sale in Europe in 2014. If I understood correctly, the writer remarks about its expected price and then goes on to write that the actual WRC car will be sold for between JPY40,000,000 and JPY50,000,000! Finally, the most important news for us is where he states that Toyota's official WRC announcement will be made in August, this year.
Check this article on auto blog: http://i.autoblog.com/2012/04/09/toy...ntent=FaceBook
With a video presenting Japanese ft86 rally challenge.
Toyota will enter 2 cars in the 24hrs of the nurburgring. But auto blog thinks wrc is even further away because of this.

free publicity...
Serious car makes like VW DO things
Little scared doggys without owners cry all the time to get attention...
This is what happens when you leave a mens sport to join ladyboy cup for fat fans with flags and stupid hats... you are sentenced in Ladyboy attitude for life...
That's right; it was the Rallye Golf G60 that was winning in the 90s, not the Celica! ;)Quote:

Toyota should have never left the rallying scene...after their F1 fiasco they are all talk about returning but nothing...It is normal they got that chicken attitude from F1, it happens when you deal with girls and ladyboys for more than a year.
VW on the other hand put their money where their mouth was...
The lesser cars do not really matter, toyota was one of the first makes that had an s2000 car, same as other girly companies like FIAT...which by the way also returning in the WRC for the last decade or so...
See where your coming from with the 2009 thing. Today is April 09, read through the article and you will see that the news is in line with what has been released with the last week or so ;)Quote:

There's TRD, which hasn't had much to do for the last ten years or so since there aren't any particularly performance oriented Toyotas save the upcoming 86 thing.
TMG in Cologne.
By all reports a pretty amazing place. Started life as home of WRC (TTE), then F1, and now Le Mans and other projects.
Toyota - the brand for old men over 70 yrs of age. :p
As long as they don´t compete in the real motorsport - rallying! :cool:
Ah the reference to the Super 2000 thing threw me aswell, thanksQuote:
