Does anyone have pictures of Toyota's rear suspension for Sweden/Monte and Mexico? I ask because a 1.5cm reduction on the rear, will greatly affect chassis agility, maneuverabilty and especially high speed stability.

It is not easy to talk about the wing mirror stays when we don’t know the specific tech rules regarding aero (remember form 400/01 WRC), which means the changes could have been provoked by having to comply with some initially grey area in the rules, which was then clarified or they could have come about as a result of evolution in the aero concept of the complete car, i.e. changes to the rear wing might have come as a package deal together with the mirror stays for example.

Also wondering if anybody has any insight into the downforce figures the 2017 WRC cars produce (or has this already been discussed?) – I know this will be a well-guarded secret, but wondering if anybody has heard anything in conversation.
If I was to make a very wild guess on the numbers (which could be way way off the mark), I would maybe say 200kg (+/-50kg) at 150kph in tarmac trim, which would roughly equate to the downforce produced by the special track editions of the “hyper” cars and slightly above than that of the road versions of these cars. This number will also be slightly below what a Formula 3 car produces. Then of course we can expand the question to what the downforce numbers are in gravel spec

In other words they let them drive only because it was the first event for the new cars. Normally it's very clear disqualification.

There is competitive advantage. Probably could explain the constant TGR mention of trying out different setups.

Another indication how much of an amateur team they are in their current format.

Didn’t they solve the suspension issue before Sweden? Rallye Magazin news after MC said suspension should be fixed before Sweden and engine before Mexico. I don't remeber anyone reporting otherwise.
