    Plenty of things left out of that article, I don't think it's such a big deal. Don't need to bring that up every time, especially not in an article that previews a season. If they did an article titled "This manufacturer cheated 25 years ago, will they do it again in order to dominate?" everyone would say they're just shit stirring and click baiting.

    It's a sad state of journalism if a reporter has to be that cloying without writing writing a paid advert. If you don't want to mention the turbo don't get all grandiose about the Celica. And I suppose the Corolla couldn't have been mentioned without implying the fact it was a comeback after Toyota was caught.

    I wonder sometimes what proportion of articles (not just motorsport, anything with lots of money involved) are actually just ghost-written by PR departments for journalists to put their name on. Must be a few.

    Actually, that Celica wasn't even mentioned in the story.

    A huge amount of misunderstanding about the article here. Thankfully, livery launch and Monte Carlo are coming soon. An idle mind is the devil's workshop.

    Would you pay for an independent, objective and arguably good quality online rallying journalism?

    Yep, the piece seems to be written in glorifying mode (Evans forgot to mention that Toyota only become WMC after Lancia pull out and since 2016 the biggest car maker is believed to be VW), but somehow it’s fair to underline Toyota rally achievements and contribution for the sport. Btw, no one knows if Toyota will manage to dominate in 2019 (getting both titles) but we can surely hope the others manus will give them a heck of a fight. Bring on MC Rally!

    I'm happy with this forum, but if there was real reporting, sure. Look at all the other pay services out there. I only worry all the best reporting would need to be translated from Finnish.
