Toyota announces WRC plans

[Rally Power]

LOLZ!!!

My guess is that Toyoda put both teams building a car, an in case TMR's be a flop, he always have a plan B to run!

Probably it was the other way around: TMR was the plan B, activated by Mr.Toyoda after another TMG disaster at LeMans!

Facts:

- TMG run Toyota Racing F1 team during 8 years (2002 to 2009); in 140 races they didn't win a single grand prix.

Notes:

- In the 12 TMG running seasons, only WEC results are positive, but they are virtually useless because Toyota main objective in endurance racing is to win LeMans.

- Tommi Makinen choice was reveled 3 weeks after LeMans fail by Mr. Toyoda (Toyota Motor Corp. and Toyota Racing President).
