    Toyota should pull out Ogier as a team scorer in Croatia.

    I would say, let´s go on. Pay respect to Breen, in all the ways the organizer will put up. But let the competition go ahead as usual.

    Asking Toyota to only register two cars is ridiculous. Take a look at the past.

    Because it's a sport and not reality TV. When F1 teams turned up with one car because of an accident (fatal/injury) the others still ran two/three cars, same in sportscars. Peugeot didn't pull there cars at 5je 85/86 TdC to be "fair" to Lancia. Next up a team retires a car in order to be "fair" when a competitor has technical problems or what?

    Give over.

    Nobody is asking Toyota to pull a car. Just select 2 of their 3 drivers to score manufacturer pts instead of all 3 - if Hyundai turn up with only two cars.

    Exactly.

    And this (exceptional) situation is already known before the event and can be discussed .... its not mid-rally.

    I don’t see it happening. I see the logic, in that even if Hyundai did decide to run their third car with a different crew, whoever it is wouldn’t have tested, so they would be at a disadvantage either way.

    It would make for a heartwarming story.

    But Toyota aren’t rallying to provide heartwarming stories.

    The regs are clear. Nominations would have been made at the time of entry, and entries are now closed.

    Well done Toyota.....

    Surprised many of you didn't see it happening. It was a fairly easy thing to do with time before the rally? All teams with 2 manufacturer pts scorers this weekend.
