Yes, I agree. But I did not upload the video. Just found it on youtube and I shared the link.Quote:

'Juho and Esapekka belong to that group, and there are also Teemu Suninen Thierry Neuville , some from the British Isles and a couple of friends from the French side, Mäkinen lists.'

So Evans, Breen, Lefebvre and Bouffier (or Chardonnet)?
This is pretty interesting. The strong rumours have always been Lappi/Hanninen - so for Tommi to come out and say it's "completely untrue" would seem to imply at least one of those drivers won't be with the team next year. Otherwise you'd just say "nothing is confirmed yet". Or say nothing at all.Quote:

DMG, Panasonic, Toyota and Microsoft. Very nice to see big business back the WRC.
Using the WRC program to present this partnership with Microsoft it’s a clear sign of Toyota’s commitment. Hope all the skeptics starts to take it more seriously.
I question what is Microsoft
Someone answered that it gives the car windows
I don't like the livery, and I hope they won't have to reboot the car all the time!
Control + Alt + Delete
what? no photos in actual thread? i will fix it

The car looks hideous, but I hope it is good.

Apart from the 'Yaris' on the grill and the small side panel there isnt much advertising for Toyota on the livery...
Didn't Microsoft buy Nokia? Finnish connection..Quote:

Sorry if I sound intrusive. For me this is overflowing:Quote:

I know who DMG sponsor in WEC, but hardly can see them on the Yaris. And Microsoft look like a small software company being a partner, but not some major sponsor.
KWH Pipe making wastewater cleaning systems. Bought one from them five years ago for about 30000 Euros. Just because they sponsored Toyota. (Small lie but still)
well kid the era where motorsports was the king when it came to marketing is over, nowadays people prefer to stay home and spend time on their playstations.Quote:

How about this for modern times?
Red Bull is basically sponsoring every moving vehicle in motorsport...
Like Marlboro & Camel @ the 80's & 90's. Is it overflowing? Yes it is, I rest my case.
Yes good sponsors, but surely they want to advertise the Toyota name more, especially as they are 'new' to the WRC ?
Even the Champions cars still have a large VW logo on them...
Okay so I see now you are talking about a complete sponsor takeover of the livery. Toyota still retained their corporate colours on the car. But just because the car isn't branded up like Windows 10 doesn't mean it isn't a significant sponsorship. Just like the Mercedes in F1 retains the Silver Arrows look of Mercedes, but it's sponsorship deals are worth more than most rally partnerships combined.Quote:

I agree, it is truly awful.Quote:
