    Toyota will be forced to revert to its old-specification #WRC engine for Rally Turkey later this month...

    Pairing is same for every team, so all are using Sardinia spec cars.
    -old aero for Ogier
    -Citroen without some of those Rally Finland parts.

    Tommi: "I don't know where this rule is coming from, it's very, very complicated regulation which is not really helping anybody."
    This rules obviously comes from the desire to keep costs down, so that the components last longer and to keep team from homologating super-tuned parts for each rally (this is obviously also regulated by number of jokers).

    Call me Toyota hater but this is Tommi talking from the position of having too much money. Similar to Toyota saying earlier that there was no need to limit the amount of testing.

    I know but the Toyota engine Joker has been the most significant looking at their speed on the previous events.

    Not to mention the engine cooling issue which was also addressed... and Turkey will be hot.

    Cooling issues were mostly causing concerns in the altitudes. There`s a big difference, wether it is just hot, or wether it is hot high above.

    And with that old engine Toyota climbed from P9 to P1 in just a few stages, taking a comfortable lead by the end of day 1 in Argentina.

    Let's hope the Toyota is strong enough in Turkey, especially if Tanak drives it over big rocks like in Sardinia..
