I thought it referred to the actual setup with Tommi Mäkinen Racing building and running the cars and just being funded by the Toyota factory as opposed to Citroen and Hyundai where the teams are/were owned by the factory?Quote:

The risky part with Evans is that he basically never ever drove a different car than an MSport one, be it R5 or WRC.Quote:

And like I guessed, Latvala says here he needs to start gathering sponsors and the more budget he can get, the more rallies he can drive.Quote:

He mentions Sweden and Finland, as well as Portugal, Sardegna and Wales.
I'm not sure if this is something only said to Finnish press but Mäkinen says that "we haven't decided on a number one driver, everyone is on the same line (equal)" :D

if i remember correctly then public ones where lack of money from Wilson to pay for Ogier and not enough support from Ford (not being a factory team, Ogier was very vocal about it especially in 2018, how ironic it sounds now after his year in citroen)Quote:
