Hanninen certainly to be part of testing team. The project has been under way for some time. People were in Estonia last year a week after Rally Finland to start planning of the building and projects. It's nice to see other companies getting fully involved in the sport of Rally.

Fabulous drives by Lappi and Ott! Improving the car mid-rally also tells me that the team is functioning at a high level. Very pleased. Let's finish the deal tomorrow!

Yaris has taken more stage wins 2018 than any other car.
