Corsica also has boring itinerary - two stages in the morning, the same two repeated in the afternoon.

Apparently Mr. Toyoda isn’t worried about having a huge advantage over the competition on the WEC; if Toyota misses WRC manus champ this year, why not try to get Ogier?
Besides, even if Ogier seems the obvious (and smarter) choice for a vacant seat at Toyota, how can we tell Lappi won’t be replaced by another talented Finn, like Suninen, that seems ready for a full manu drive and is managed by Makinen’s long time pal Jouhki ?Last edited by Rally Power; 23rd August 2018 at 14:38.

At the end of 2016 he said it that this will be last. Then at the end of 2017 too. Now again. Ogi stop it.No one is buying it.
I think that he just want to get contracts on the table from Toyota or Hyundai and now when no one is interested in him, he is crying again..

Well Toyotas last 10+ years in motorsport weren't exactly great. First tons of money into F1 which was total fail. Then endurance where they never won vs Porsche/Audi even though they often had the fastest car, now after both Audi and Porsche left they finally are winning since there is nobody else to fight.
So now when they are doing good in WRC they are likely to try to make the most out of it.

No...the policy would remain the same- priority drivers helped by other team members, no matter if from A or B team. So again struggling Latvala and Nasser just enjoying himself. B-team for developing drivers and Nasser would be logical though.
