Well he says so himself in an interview in latest finnish VM magazine... At the time of his testing the car was not very competitive and he was positively surprised about their speed in the beginnig of the season..
If Ogier knew he's not going to get a drive with Toyota, what do you expect him to say?
Can someone confirm TGR actually offered Ogier a drive?
If it is just a new investor (not a new Promoter) that means they wont be changing anything except financial matters. And yes, the FIA has to decide and approve the Regs.
You're way off topic lads.
Back to the WRC27... Toyota has back-to-back tested vs the Yaris Rally2:

Ogier competition when he won every title:
-2008 (JWRC)
-1. Ogier - 42pt
-2. Burkart - 34pt
-3. Prokop - 32pt
Also there was Abbring on 13th place.
-2013:
-1. Ogier - 290pt
-2....
It's the whole WRC world like that. Nothing is clear until it's clear, while in other sports there are rumours, articles, interviews, official statements and all that way before it will actually...
