    What do manufacters do with all cars they produced? On ewrc info, each have produced more or less 20-22 '17 spec cars.

    1. So some of them are racing and rotating
    2. Few for testing
    3. Few are sold (only M-sport)
    4. Few are crashed/burned

    And what about others?
    Maybe they are used for sponsor exibitions, dealer centres and etc. ?

    Yes, or standing in the garage. Not anything irregular amongst factories. Toyota has a few in museums, including Japan i believe. If you look at previous generations, VW for example, then you see that apart from a few (2?) converted into WRX, all are standing somewhere....like their Dakar Touaregs.

    Redbull TV have posted a season review which includes some driver and team principal interviews filmed in Coffs Harbour. Very interesting answer from Seb Ogier when asked about what he is doing next year

    Yes but right before that he was saying about Citroën that "we will be stronger next year". So could be playing either way.

    D. Evans is actually very precise in distinguishing between "certain" and "likely" news in his articles.
    Ex. when talking about Tänak earlier in the summer he wrote "set to" sign for Toyota..
    Also right now he is saying that Evans will be announced at Toyota "potentially" with Ogier.

    So there is still hope that we won't be down to effectively 2 team championship.

    Btw. Milener basically confirms that Evans is going to Toyota, then talks about lots of others drivers now available and moves on to talk about young talents... like Gus Greensmith... uhh. Also kind of confirms Suninen.
    I mean ok for Greensmith to pay for 3rd car and keep the team running, but MSport with only Suninen and Greensmith would be a disaster imo.

    THIS.

    that was a clear confirmation for me there

    and Ogier so cheeky with his answer, seems its Toyota after all then but cant be sure from that answer
