No idea of MSport/Citroen Turkey PET dates, but it could be possible had him testing on gravel in Chateau Lastours (Fontjoncouse), when Citroen was there before Turkey. It’s a private facility, with restricted access.

You can also look if Toyota is searcheing new welding guys via newspaper advertisments, and then assume who they might hire :P

Why not in the day immediately before or after?

It’s still a info from an alleged inside source; not a proper confirmation. Apparently, every journo is eager to be the first to announce it…

I must confess, if Meeke did go to Toyota I think it would be interesting. A few crashes, a couple of wins...

Well there would for sure be drama.

Drama as he crashes/wins.

Drama from his fanboys claiming how he "has to overdrive the car" (like he did with previous 3 cars).

He isn't exactly known as the most reliable source in Belgium

Maybe he is correct, but very often he is wrong...

To say it in such an authoritative fashion is convincing, however. Not "it looks like... or might be..." but it's happening and he's driven the car. Very interesting.
