I don't remember Mr. Wilson complaining when Ford decided to replace Boreham's Motorsport base for his garage in Cockermouth...

Ford contracts made MSport a top force in WRC. Why are so many people doubting the same cannot happen with Toyota and TMR?!?

There's also a huge advantage for the sport in these manufacturers and private teams joint ventures. Manus factory teams are usually limited time involvements, only focused in WRC. When marketing strategy diverge or financial crisis erupt they leave the sport instantly. Private teams has rally as their core business; they'll do everything in order to maintain their sport activities, so they tend to develop other rally categories programs, providing competitive cars to national and regional series, helping the sport growth worldwide.
