I know but it's still very different to get the homologation for a yet non-existent version of said serially produced car (with basically only different bumpers) or for a car which hasn't yet entered production at all.

Why do you worry about such things? Do you really think that everybody in MSport is stupid and don't know how the homologation process works?

Motorsport News says they will rotate until round 6 in Portugal and then run three cars. Fingers crossed they can bring that forward a bit but at least it's coming. Pleasant surprise to see all three guys are locked in through the next two seasons.

Of course not. You can clearly see what I asked for in my first question - if there is anybody who knows what is written in the 2017 rules. Nobody gave any answer. Saying that there is definitely a way is not an answer to my question. I want to know what is written black on white not what somebody feels about it.

That's VW, Citroen and Hyundai sorted then. Curious to see what Ford do.

When can we expect Toyota official announcement?

It must be somekind of surprise! Surely Breen and Lefebvre were going to continue with the Citroën, but was thinking that they are sharing the 3rd car.

No way that Citroën is able to fight for the Manufacturers title with this lineup! Both Breen and Lefebvre are too inexperienced to compete with Ogier, Latvala, Mikkelsen, Neuville, Sordo and Paddon. A couple of times they can beat them, but it will be difficult.

Citroen are probably thinking ahead of Meek's retirement, they want a good basis for the future IMHO.
