Me too, but he's in a strong position with his contract being up. A year ago he could have worried about the end of it, but if he has his 'usual' season next year he'll have his choice from at least Toyota and Citroen, you'd imagine, whilst Hyundai wouldn't be out of the picture if any of their drivers go elsewhere and I'm sure Malcolm would give him a shot if no-one else would do anyway.

That is not full GigiGalli, Per has 1 right (Mikkelsen has contract for 2017)

Makinen announcement it's great to give some faith to all those Gazzo Racing/TMR non believers. It's true that TMG PR's added some excused noise, but there's no doubt Makinen is able to do a great job and Toyota will be a strong player in WRC. Looking forward to 2017!

Just saw something about Meeke in talks with TMG

Still lots of confusion on the media over TMG role, but it's now very clear: TMG is just an external (engine) supplier to Gazoo/TMR WRC team.

Similar answers published else where do basically a written press release to use within one company with many publications...

Tommi need to do something here to clarify confusion:

Find a new name for the Toyota Rally Team. We have Gazoo Racing, TMG and TMR that might have diifferent or double roles.

But the team needs a name!

TRT (Toyota Rally Team) is a good name!

If Meeke comes onboard, Tommi should put him in the GT86 R3, and quickly put a R5 car together, so they can start collecting data.
Meeke would love the GT86, and just drive for fun! What a commercial masterpiece that would be for that car!!

TRT = Turkish Radio Television :)

pls ignore my lack of knowledge...
does the GT86 fit with 2017 regulations? any chance Toyota will build that car instead of Yaris?
