I think TMG have worked wonders so far in the WEC. They brought the programme forward early and the car was quickly winning races. They absolutely dominated last season with a much inferior budget and really should have won Le Mans.

Toyota have not given them anywhere near the funding that their VAG rivals have on tap and that has bitten them badly this year. I don't think they forgot how to build a good car. They just got out-developed. The weakest part of it is the Toyota engine which they didn't even build.

So I don't subscribe to the fact that they aren't a competent team. The biggest issue for them, and I fear this WRC project, stems from Japanese boardrooms.
