To me, the engine of the Yaris Rally2 looks weak, not just in comparison to the Rally1. But it’s early days, maybe it’s just something they knocked up for the initial test mule.

Keep hearing this, is this "rumour" based on anything?

Yaris Rally2 engine start and off the line at demo start:

I guess it's 3cl engine by that sound.. Will Toyota try to get change of ruleset to allow other engines than 4cl 1.6T? I think that would be only healthy for rally. And not only in Rally2, but would be nice to see less strict engine rules in Rally1 too.

The engine regs don’t state it has to be four cylinders, just ‘up to 1620cc turbo with 32mm restrictor’
