    TOYOTA GAZOO Racing WRT

    It’s much more competitive.

    Even Linnamäe is showing some really decent times

    Heikkilä wins in Toyota Rally2 over Asunmaa. First win? Thought maybe engine wouldn´t have enough power. But this proves the opposite. Fast stages, winter tyres. Toyota Rally 2 seems good enough.

    It's more complicated than that i think.. might be good on fast stages but less good on slower, twistier stuff. We'll need more rallies to judge i think.

    well, however when you need 5th gear it´s always power which decides speed.

    Little off-topic, but there will be TGR livery on Formula 2 grid this season. It's driven by 23' Super Formula and SuperGT champion Ritomo Miyata.

    Team principal Jari-Matti Latvala faced harsh criticism re no team orders – now the Finnish boss fires back:

    Haha!

    First - I doubt Latvala has any power to give any orders to Ogier or Rovanpera.
    He is just there to give interviews and etc.
    Another thing is talking about drivers' motivation..
    Toyota took the decision that made the series look like a playground by letting two of the best drivers casually drive the rallies they want and just go for the wins + now talking about driver's motivation..?
    I wouldn't want to be in Evans' boots - on one hand you are the first driver of the team, but on the other hand your personal results don't mean anything to the team as it's okay if they take points of of him..

    Team orders don't need to be official nor out in the open. Ogier and Kalle will most likely give their positions to Evans, if they're not about to win the rally. And towards the end of the season, they'll probably give him wins, if they can and if it's needed. Maybe even from their own will.
