TOYOTA GAZOO Racing WRT

[Rally Power]

Yep, hard to come up with any other conclusion. Most likely Akio Toyoda has checked the current championship standings in his Tokyo office and realized how bad it looks for them.

There’s no doubt that Makinen did a fantastic job leading Toyota’s WRC program but that actually makes his exit even more strange; btw, in TTE precedent Ove Andersson continued to lead the team (for a long time) after selling it to Toyota.

Anyway, what mostly matter is to have Toyota increasing their Rally involvement, as it now seems assured.
