Toyota announces WRC plans

[AL14]

Yes, we're still waiting for someone to find out and report what the hell is going on at Toyota.

Could it be they're just running the car for engine development?

Italian guys who where there:

They're the ones who took pictures and share the videos.

Basically they said breaks and suspensions were tested yesterday (I think the engine was the focus the day before, but I'm just guessing).
Both Suninen and Hirvonen tested the car, the difference between the two was clearly visible in the stage.

TMG not working with Makinen.

Well TMG are doing the engine work and likely some aero work so they are at least working together in some capacity. Not exactly a fully fledged partnership - but then you have Mikko rocking up suddenly at a test. Clearly there is more than meets the eye.

Mikko is free agent, has own firm, could work/drive for everyone (MINI allraid, testdriver for Tuulilasi magazine etc...)

ofcourse this Toyota test has something to do with Tommi´s project but officially he is free agent

One big plus for having TMG build the cars is that we would get the historic K-AM numberplates out of Cologne.

K-AM 1411 and K-AM 1422

So how will they do when it comes to homologating the Yaris? Two different ones or one car cooperativly built according to papers?

Day 3 of the test with Camili. He looks much faster than the other days.
