The problem is many times Meeke and JML have crashed or made a mistake while trying to compete with Tänak. TGR and Tänak have lost valuable points in their respective chapionship battles because of that while Ogier and Neuville have gained a lot.
Nobody in Citroën or Hyundai even dares to compete with their number one driver even if sometimes sidekicks are in front for a while.

It's a tricky balance trying to take points off your team-mates rivals but not beat him too. Plus there's no splits in the car now to judge your speed and the times are generally very close.

With all those TGR badges, people tend to forget that Makinen’s company (TMR) is an external partner developing and running the Yaris on behalf and expenses of Toyota.
The huge profits are hardly a surprise: he’s cashing in before Toyota decides to pull out, wisely preparing TMG future (as Richards/Prodrive and Wilson/MSport did in Subaru and Ford golden years).
PS: TMR's Estonian branch isn't yet mentioned on the link.
That would be weird; profits from running the Japanese young drivers are certainly a drop in the ocean, compared to TMR full TGR WRC program.Last edited by Rally Power; 15th October 2019 at 13:05.

Well, in addition, there is one lady there, apparently doing most of the leading thing...
But asking money under the table...hard or impossible to believe. One word from Märtin/Tänak to Japanese and they lose the project, the huge profit.Last edited by Tarmop; 15th October 2019 at 16:07.

this doesnt ''sell'' something.Just uses money from the biggest manufacturer to promote his brand at wrc
Last time Tommi had a company that sell something,bunkrupted.
there is no harm for some more hundreds thousand euros.Not weird at all for me.
Toyotas healthy economical days have a date expire.And most would have to look for the next day.
