For the testing roads I agree, base in Finland would be the closest to the best Rally roads in the world. I slightly remember some interview in the past with a Finnish driver answering why the Finns are the best drivers in the world, and he said just because we have all variety of Rally roads and weather conditions in Finland..... but that was probably at least 15 years ago and probably Makkinen was the driver.

I know nothing about Nokia electronics and Automotive industry, but they make excellent phones.

I think a German-Finnish base would be great choice using the already established facilities and Services in Germany and do the development & testing in Finland.

All-in-all I'm glad for Toyota making that decision, for me it seem TMG are little "burned out". Their last effort with WEC is turning into disaster very quickly this year, but for sure I don't know the reasons, it may have to do something with exactly this "reconstruction"?!?
