Tommi clearly sold Toyoda-san the dream over some long evenings in the sauna. Now he's got to actually produce.
It really seems like a maverick move for what is a major manufacturer programme. Because right now it just seems like Tommi is getting his mates together.

It should be interesting to see how the whole programme develops.
You guys seems to have something against Mäkinen or is it something against Finns in generally? Quite pathetic posts if there’s a change of a new manufacturer in the WRC, Pffft .
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...
