    Well I was there for a week with my friend during our work practice program. I worked with mr. Mäkinen himself, Kari Hytönen and some other workers who got on very well with us. We moved some tires, worked with the cars and cleaned places. We saw some drivers too, such as Esapekka Lappi, Jarkko Miettinen and Mikko Pajunen, whose Subaru Impreza WRX STi R4 we had to wash

    What do you think Tommi will do with his firm in the future?

    Will we see new cars developed or just driver development?

    I believe they will still be employed by Toyota, but just in a different business model, like for example, TGR orders a day of testing in central Finland. And maybe they will be involved in developing or even running the Rally2 car.

    What firm ?

    This TMR was the company which Toyota bought last week.

    TMR had 3 owners (all male, one was Tommi)

    I tought Tommi said in an interview that ”TMR will stay with me”. And this is also the reason they don’t use Puuppola hq anymore?

    Apparently there hasn't been any changes on the list of stakeholders of TMR? Based on the recent news and quotes from Tommi himself, Toyota bought the operations, but not the company (TMR).

    Last world championship rally of 2020 is done. And one of the iconic team managers has left the building!

    Tommi has had a good run as team boss at Toyota. Building a team from more or less scratch in a "barn" in the middle of nowhere in Finland. Very few thought this would fly at all, but;

    He was making results very quickly, and winning rally number 2 in year 1 that was 2017!
    Winning team title year 2
    Drivers titles in year 3 and 4.

    Not a bad legacy!


    What now;
    - Take a year off?
    - Go directly into the new Toyota role?
    - Start up his own tuning firm again?
    - Leave the sport for good?

    Yes, they just separated Tommi Mäkinen Racing from it and got a new hq in Jyväskylä.
