WRC Testing

Sorry, you are way off. This is the new Yaris, heavily facelifted and due for reveal soon-ish.
As terrible as my Photoshopping is, it's a different panel and different light design.
You shall see soon.

Ok, I won’t be too much stubborn as in a few days we’ll see it clearly, but the strange panel that’s inside the red circle you draw is part of the aero kit, linking the big wing to the rear door. Btw, the proto overall shape is still exactly the same of the current road car and no restyling is expected because the new road car will be a totally new one (the current was born in 2010 and got facelift in 2014).

True, I see what you are saying and we'll see in Monte. But I believe that the 2017 Yaris is not actually going to be 'totally' new, but another (heavy) facelift of the current platform. That would make sense and allow TMR to create the car on the current Yaris, before adding the newly updated body panels alongside aero updates as they go along.

I could be spouting gibberish It could also be a new part for a 2018 too, as others have suggested.

That "Yaris" sedan has nothing to do with this, believe me. It's a rebadged Mazda 2 sold in North America, first under the former Scion brand, but once there's no Scion's any more it's now a Toyota...

Why are Toyota making the WRC cars RHD?

they don't.

[Doon]

This one is RHD.

[liposh]

No, it is not For a short while I also thought it is RHD, but it is optical illusion.

[Mirek]

Yes, you are right. That's LHD. The steering column tubes are clearly on the left side even though the steering wheel itself looks like on the right side.
