Toyota announces WRC plans

[Jack4688`]

Toyota (Tommi) has said after 1st test that wings are not even close to final versions...

This year in F1 Williams tested a rear wing sinilar to thise seen between 1993-4 - absolutely illegal but sometimes testing with something illegal can afford you to gain understanding for use with a future homologated design

So for rounding up, you´re saying the brand doesn´t mean a lot. Only how the whole package is constructed and mounted/adjusted indoors own workshop (like Toyota in this case) by people knowing how to do. Right?
Like I tried to say as well.
Your swenglish is gorgeous btw!!

Nååå grabben det har varit 40 år sen jag bodde där men det lämnade ett betydesfult intryck i skallen. Där lärde jag mycket.
Även om nuförtiden jag låter som 'anon från Österbotin eller tom tär Finlandsvenkar'.

What I'm suggesting is hardware, 'stuff' is less important than the attitude of those using it..in reality.

The situation at toyota right now... brace yourselves for the flop kids.

Here is the Motorsport News article about that :

People with sense and clear sight in VW. Well he designed the car so I guess he is the person that has the most of it.

I still think they are going to be mighty competitive though...

Also removing the slots on the rear wing should be a small issue for Toyota.

Well I assume that they want to be the best at some point and I am guesstimating now but different dampers must work differently so if you chose one manufacturer you can't just swap in the future and expect the car to react the same.

If they found out that BOS was a limitation in the future they can't just put Reigers instead and expect them to work.

They can use jokers but selecting a supplier of dampers should be correct right away. I don’t how many jokers (tarmac / gravel) would be needed for a swap of supplier.

That's why I thought that selecting a company because you know them is bit silly.

Of course it can’t be the only reason to choose a supplier but it helps getting started with the work. Also if the chosen supplier isn’t a supplier to any other manufacturer you can maybe get better service as a key customer. And as I said earlier the tight schedule maybe also a reason.

Someone finally listened at Toyota.

Toyota update piece on WRC.com - http://www.wrc.com/en/wrc/news/july-...7--12-12-.html

Probably somewhere in between this and the rumours lies the real truth as to how well development is going. I hope it is going as well as they imply.

Makinen has said this, two car team in 2017 with a possible third car being entered.

Car being tested now is a Mule, 2015 with 2017 internals.

Evans, Tanak, Lappi, Tidemand and Suninen candidates for WRC drivers in 2017.

Announcement after Rally Germany.

[pantealex]

So you believe that Tänak is the only current WRC driver who is candidate for TGR ?
I can tell you that there are others also...
and
Hänninen for sure will drive some events!

[EstWRC]

tell then ...Tänak i knew already some months ago that they started to negotiate.
