[Sulland]

If Pipo is a no-go, what tuning firm could get the job done best?

would be very surprized if he could not build up this capacity in Finland or Sweden!

Mountune,Cosworth maybe Toyota Racing Developments(America).

It puts a few rumours to bed. Good to see some positive news come out of the Toyota camp as a lot of fans were starting to either get worried or lose faith.

I guess we'll never know how much of that TMG Yaris finds it's way into the works car. There's probably already enough to write a book about the whole situation.

All we have left are the hours upon hours of YouTube footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gl8vbqwZ7mo

Finally some news! I was starting to get worried a little bit. I wonder who the drivers are they are negotiating with,I imagine one being latvala.

He is the ideal driver for them. Finn, a lot of experience, the only one that matches Ogier's speed, a contract ending next year and Skodas driver ready to debut in the WRC in one of the three Polos.
On the contrary I don't know if Toyota is a good choice for Jari Matti. I think he will consider it if it will be the only choice. Very much will depend on what will happen on 2016.

I've read the articles regarding Toyota, good to have some news from them.
The only sentence that let me some doubts is: "You don't need to have the biggest budget or team in order to win. The most important thing is relaxing and enjoying the experience."
mmmm, are you sure Tommi?

[Simmi]

Really hope Latvala jumps to Toyota. He has to try and do something different. How many people think he actually has a chance against Ogier in equal machinery?

But it's really an unknown who will drive these Yaris WRCs. 2017 driver market will be the really interesting one. Almost everyone available.

Hirvonen (and Jarmo) should get out there and do some of the testing.

Mads Østberg has a 1 year deal, as he want do be in position before 2017 season.
He admitted in an intervju that he is in talks with Toyota too.
