@JariMattiWRC said that before the Christmas he is going to test #TGR_WRC #Toyota #YarisWRC almost every day. The aim is to drive 3 days tarmac, 1 gravel & 3-4 days snow.
The aerodynamic of the car is working really well. The balance is good on the braking and on the slippery. JML has same kind of feeling, when he was driving the Fiesta.
The aim is to be on the Podium next year. The first three events JML is aiming to drive easy and get used to the car. At the middle of the season he should be able to fight for the top three places.

Why does he make a comparison with Fiesta that he no longer drive in over 4 or 5 years?

[jonkka]

Maybe he's contractually forbidden to make comparison to VW. Or out of courtesy.

[Franky]

Because it doesn't feel like a VW, but more like an M-Sport Fiesta.

I guess he will be test driver + wrc2 or wrc trophy next year and probably replace Hanninen or Latvala next year.

Think again...

Suninen was doing motor test for Tommi because he works in company which makes those engines (TMG)

Suninen will probably drive VW16, Tommi has enough test drivers now.

I don't believe that TMR will use one Fiesta R5 to study R5 cars. That car will be used.
