Toyota announces WRC plans

Bit OT

No, you need register in every car which is driven in public road, no matter what is the reason. There is no special plates for rally or any other type of cars. Taxes has nothing to do with Yaris case, it just is impossible to register new car to Finland without airbags or CO2-documents.

Wait, so are all rally cars in Finland registered somewhere else? Or how are other cars, like group N or R5 registered?

Mainly all are driven by temporary plate (red sticker plate). You get only those for like special training day or to race days only.
Those are too expensive for all day use and always route has been marked to plates which is allowed to be driven.

And also car public road insurance has to be paid for one year or only for these special days.

Yes, like HarriK explains, but Historic cars all exception, they must be registered in Finland (with real metal plates)
Because of that insurance all cars in WRC Finland have those sticker plates.

I see, thanks for clearing it up for me.

@Pantealex @JanvanVurpa Register isn´t needed for rallying, is that so? Special plates for rallycars that can´t be used on roads except on rallies. Like in Sweden.
For TMG it´s about taxes on new cars as well isn´t it?

That explains something. For Rally Finland 2009, all without airbags, they provided every car with temporary licence plates.

On sunday i read to a greek magazine a substantial interview from the greek toyota chief engineer Michalis Zotos.He says he is very happy with the car and from the job that have been done in a short time.He also says that the car faced almost zero problems( that all new cars have) in the first shakedown kms.He also said that he designed totally the suspension apart from having the overseeing of the whole project.The interview is too big to write all the details.
