    has he been working with Oreca, or was it a coincidence that the test car was a Toyota?
    Toyota Etios is not on sale in Europe, so nothing to do with TGR or TMG either.

    But if Toyota wants to they could task TMR to make a Yaris R4. For most people watching it would be a Toyota anyway.
    He would build another R4 building on the farm, or in Estland, that also has good rally traditions.

    Toyota wants its name to be seen as successful one. They'd better wait a bit to see if there is any potential in R4. Otherwise it would be just a negative PR for a lot of money spent.

    TGR has over 80 different Toyota´s in- and outside their facilities, they have studied all possible combinations. Now it seems that R2 is next one.
