Tommi Makinen Racing

He would do a great job there. But, i don't think so.

Yes he would but I don't like the guy at least bit. He gets too extreme ideas from time to time but for sure what comes to leadership and experience he has it.

What is Tommi up to these days?
Is he on a forced sabattical by Toyota, or is he working on advising on something inside Gazoo?

Is there any activity on the farm?

Toyotas still run under Estonian plates and the TGR technical department is still located in Tallinn. The facilities itself belong to Tommi Mäkinen Racing. So he is still on the Toyotas`s payroll kind of. But not for long, TGR will move all activities soon to Finland.

Tommi produced safety cages in Estonia before TGR. Don`t know if this business is still active though.

Tommi Mäkinen Racing OÜ had in the first quarter of 2021 a turnover over 1 mil €, although the 2nd quarter was 3 times less

All this is true but I want to highlight that he is OUT from TOYOTA. He doesn´t work for them anymore.

Tommi is having "vacation" and it may last forever...

ps.Yaris Rally1 will most probably also have Estonian plates, law and tax reasons.

Hopefully TMR will start a new project with another manufacturer. Tommi proved with Toyota that he has the skill and the people to put together a world class team. There were a lot of doubters, especially on this forum, that the Yaris will fail but he proved them all wrong.
