I only quote other sources to explain the idea and why I'm not just making this up.

But I get it, you dont want to believe me and be proved wrong.

I give up now - you will see soon.

Jezus mate, we’re all here to have fun sharing and learning about our Rally passion, not to prove anything.

Fucking hell Eddie. You should have your own thread. It would be easier.

Let’s stop the fuss and enjoy Mexico! Arriba, arriba…

Homologation requirements are not the easiest thing to understand and it is very easy to make a mistake. However, minimum build numbers are clearly covered in Appendix J Article 255 Art. 2.
"At least 2500 identical examples of these cars must have been
manufactured in 12 consecutive months.
Unless restriction specified on the homologation form, all
homologations valid for Group N are valid for Group A.
In order for a Group A car to take part in rallies, its characteristics
and the dimensions of its parts must always be less than or equal to
the characteristics and dimensions specified for a World Rally Car
(this does not apply to variable geometry turbochargers of
supercharged diesel engines).
If a Group A car does not originally comply with the above point, it
must, by means of a VO type homologation, conform to the
dimensions and characteristics specified for a World Rally Car, in
order to take part in rallies."

Sorry for the late response, Eddie! The GR Yaris will be produced at a minimum of 25,000 units for the WRC homologation. Thanks.

Fella, we're beyond this now... There's no doubt Toyota PR put the 25000 number out there. What is in question is why, when people can only quote the rules as saying they only need to build 2500.

Personally I'm inclined to believe they won't only build 2500. This car has involved a lot of redesign and development work for only 2500 cars at such a relatively low price. (Now saying that, in the pre virus world, I'd have been surprised if they only built 2500, now, who knows...)

[Fast Eddie WRC]

I've given up trying to explain why it's 25,000.

All believe what you like.

[Rally Power]

All believe what you like.

Amen. You’re free to be happy with an answer from Toyota while others will be happier with an answer from the FIA; which will hopefully arrive in due time, probably after more important matters, like the current pandemic crisis, are solved.

Shame now that they hadn't put the time into an R5 instead... Is it possible their attention could be turned to that in the short term, before focusing on the '22 WRC next year? Otherwise we'll be waiting years for an R5. If the economy completely dives and the Hybrids don't happen, Tommi will have nothing.
