I'd find it very strange to give/get a penalty for this, so had a look at the regulations. 2020 regulations aren't out yet. But for 2019, nothing's written about a mandatory attendance on the WRC launch event. Only attendance on the prize-giving was required this year. From Toyota this could be a reaction to the WRC launch taking place in the UK on the same event again. There's a bigger event in Japan, so why not do it there? The UK isn't the center of the world...

We in the UK & Europe should probably be happy that the whole WRC launch has gone to Japan, what with Toyota's money and influence and Rally Japan being back on the calendar....

I'm surprised they decided to go back to the Autosport Show for the launch. I wasn't impressed this year, and it didn't bring extra coverage & interest that you'd hope an event like this should bring.
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

Are Toyota running a new Yaris next year?

I know it's been reported that there'd be no three door Yaris, but the new video of the Yaris GR-4 certainly makes it look very much like a three door: https://www.evo.co.uk/toyota/yaris/2...special-on-the
I appreciate a lot can be done with camouflage, but look at the bottom corner of the door, it's rounded off, and what appears to be the fuel cap is in a different place than on the regular new 2020 model (watch the video, it's the same height as the rear headlight, usually it's beneath that), it's where the rear door should be...
I've got to say, from the perspective offered in that video, the GR-4 looks like a far more attractive car than the regular new Yaris. If it is indeed all wheel drive as expected and hopefully well powered, I think I might be becoming a Toyota owner!Last edited by the sniper; 5th December 2019 at 19:38.

I believe there were some talks, that due to the fact that Toyota and Subaru are connected, this Yaris will have a Subaru AWD.
Thanks Eddie. I don't know how it is in other countries but it would be pretty disappointing if all we got in the UK was Youtube highlights if you haven't got the Rally TV app!
