TOYOTA GAZOO Racing WRT

[mknight]

My understanding was that the road car was basically modified to give the WRC car big advantage. (One clearly visible one is the sloping roof for more air to the rear wing).

Fowler mentions this as well.

With total Toyota domination Hyundai might have never even started Rally1 car.

Toyota have supposedly had a good season, but closer introspection reveals a glaring weakness:

1. Kalle Rovanpera has accounted for all five of Toyota's victories.
2. Even if Rovanpera were to miss the next three rounds and the next best placed Toyota (Evans) won all the remaining rounds plus power stages, the Finn would still finish a point ahead in the title series.
3. The lead Toyota driver has scored points on every round, even when he hasn't exactly completed the course.

The obvious question here must be; where would Toyota be without their young prodigy???

Still relying on Ogier for another season? Maybe Evans would fair better had Rovanperä not be in the team, I mean, he's probably feeling the pressure of someone 10+ years younger than him outperforming him on every single rally (almost), it seems Evans handled the pressure better when Ogier was his main challenger.

Evans doesn't seem to have gelled as well with the hybrid car as he did with the last Yaris. He has the experience and the determination so I think the car is more of his problem.

Evans had great speed both in Monte and Sweden. He made some silly mistakes and the ball started to roll from there on. Now he seems to had some idea with driving again, but seemed like he maybe lost the confidence for a while?

If Toyota are third and sixth in manu points in Catalunya, they are manufacturer champions, even if Hyundai gets 1-2 on overall rally results and power stage. And remember that sixth place could come through super rally, because overall position does not matter, only the order of manufacturer cars, two best per team.

Also, if they just cruise through the two last rallies in "grandma to church" speed or road mode, they would still get sixth and seventh place points (with two Hyundais, two M-Sports and Katsuta ahead of them). And that would be also enough for the title even if Hyundai gets aforementioned 1-2 on both rallies.
