Nice story about Toyota team written by giant Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat (in Finnish):
http://www.hs.fi/urheilu/a1476589796186
The story includes the first published pictures inside the workshop located in Puuppola in central Finland and some actual news as well:
According to Mäkinen...
- one of the drivers will be officially annouced "soon"
- contrary to earlier reports, the third car will debut in Corsica in April (not in Sweden as reported previously)
- the car and the team (presumably with the exception of the driver annouced earlier) will be revealed in Helsinki on December 13.
- four Yaris WRC's has been built so far
- Toyota wants to have a Japanese driver, but that will not happen anytime soon (Tommi says Hiroki Arai and Takamoto Katsuta are "not ready")
The writer of the story was allowed to take pictures of the car, but only from the side - it was forbidden to take any pictures of the front and rear of the car.Last edited by Allez Andruet; 17th October 2016 at 11:39.
