    And whenever he is ready to release the car to the public I do believe it will be this body shape, the new Yaris for 2020. Also to note, ignore the date stamp on that article as this looks like the real deal!
    NO, Toyota is selling current Mazda2 as Toyota in USA. (car in those pictures)

    Toyota R5 could be some other model than Yaris...

    i know im writing this on emotion right now but....

    so sick of these punctures, alternator, driveshaft, brake and other sick dog issues.

    whats the point of the fastest car when it breaks every time the stages are little rougher, the list of problems they had on this rally is just ridiculous, more than some other teams have with whole season.

    something needs to be done fast.


    Citroen with only 3 points less than them tells a lot with basically only Ogier carrying them

    Sadly I feel the same although the car itself is fast but speed is sacrificed with reliability...

    Something definitely needs to be done because car has zero reliability although being the fastest one for most of the time. In this manner, it will ruin every driver's chances for a good long term result and they will definitely lose the WCC. In Tanak's place and if nothing changes, I would definitely double think before resigning for TGR.

    You get real. He is 30+ points behind after only 5 rallies. Let's how the season unfolds but this doesn't look any good. Neither for Toyota nor Ott.

    M-Sport? They are waiting for him with open arms, if he chooses.

    But it is not so tragic at the moment as it seems, just upseting. There are 9 rallies to go. If these problems come back to haunt again, then it is quite bad indeed.

    Ofcourse it's still early to say, but the signs are there; this is alarmingly starting to look like third consecutive year for TGR, in which they lose their bid for the drivers title mainly due to technical issues.

    For Tänak I guess the temptation of a M-Sport return for 2020 is growing rally by rally...

    Things can change very quickly. Everyone was virtually handing Tanak the 2019 Title a few weeks ago....

    As for where he can go... M-Sport.

    It is yes, especially when you think about the 8 mil. euros profit that TGR WRT running made...a bit more should have gone into development, especially in the areas that tend to fail for a third year in a row.

    Eddie, always like that, last year he was said to be out of the fight after Sardegna or something like that...hell, someone suggested even after rally Sweden win, that this means 0.
