TOYOTA GAZOO Racing WRT

[Oliverk]

Worried about a single team dominating again, I am.

It's single driver dominating. Not whole Toyota.

At the end of the day it could be like Loeb-Citroën, Ogier - VW or Mäkinen-Mitsubishi. Always one guy dominating

Just watching Lappi beat Ogier, Neuville and Sordo on his like 4th tarmac rally. Similar with Corsica, also in Finland on Saturday it was Toyota 1-2-3 on most stages.

With VW in 2014-2015 you'd get VW 1-2-3 on basically every rally, that's when I stopped watching WRC.

I do also remember 2003 with great fights... 2004 a bit less fights.. and then from 2005 it was all Citroen.

Just hope we are not headed that way again.

Still there was almost always one specific guy who was crowned 9 or 5 times in row.

It's true. He has the potential to be the next Loeb or Ogier, and that is not a good thing.

Let’s not get too excited. I think it’s pretty fair overall. Tanak has been crazy fast the last two rallies, but we know now some cars/drivers are suited for certain rallies. Thierry, Seb and Ott are close to one another. A lot better than when Loeb or Ogier had the championship in the bag by now...

[racerx1979]

We also saw some improvement from Citroen in Finland. Hopefully they develop the car even more moving forward. Turkey will be a good one since it’s all new. Good for Lappi and Sunninen to show their pace on a competely new rally. Toyota’s also suffer in conditions similar to Turkey so we will see how the new engine mapping set up performs here.

One estonian reporter claims to have spoken to Mäkinen in Germany and said that new transmission is coming to Yaris very soon.

[AnttiL]

It's 25 years since the last time a Toyota won two consecutive WRC rallies. 1993 1000 Lakes and Australia, by no less than Juha Kankkunen himself.

What is more important than new transmission probably, is that Mäkinen claims that they have changed underbody protection to better protect from random stones and hard landings.
