WRC Testing

At the end of the day... who cares... And even if it's him, what's wrong with that? It can happen, especially to him who his crash prone. There's nothing special if you think about it.

There's nothing wrong about it, and hardly someone is surprised. The real question is "why Toyota is trying to hide it?". They surely know his crashing abilities, so why did they even engaged him, be it even for 1 year?

I feel that if someone ca cool down Meeke, and make him perform till the finish lime, it is Tommi M. It looks like it is a relaxed atmosphere in the team.

Meeke need some sauna and beer, and cool baths in cold Finish lakes!

Honestly, the problem is not even Toyota supposedly trying to hide it (that’s a common and understandable procedure when these things happen), it’s more the way people in the social media are eagerly saying Amen to the fake photo allegation, promptly accusing those who do believe it’s not fake of being Meeke haters…

Hpromptly accusing those who do believe it’s not fake of being Meeke haters…

Please, not everything in this world is black or white... That's only believe of the weak.

They try to hide it because it happened so soon. If that happens in like 3 months from now on it wouldn't matter much.

Exactly, it seems all the British/Meeke fans are labeling it fake news from Meeke haters because they don't like the idea.

It's not the first time in the world of rallying that a test accident gets hushed...or a leaked picture is requested to be deleted.

Meeke draws attention like no other driver. haters and fans seem fascinated with this every move. one sure thing.. appreciate this type of driver when they are here... cause the majority are as boring as cardboard.

Hello, Meeke fan here. I actually don't believe it is fake.
Having looked at the photos, there clearly is damage on the roof of the car, across the centre probably above the roll cage where the dents can't easily be knocked out. Also looks like a little damage on the drivers side a pillar.
I disagree about the windscreen being replaced though, looks to me like the top section where allive sticker is has just been covered with black duct tape.

Where do you guys see the number there? They never run test cars with numbers on it. And Toyota’s numbers are orange.

A few Twitter posts mentioned the number. We've already cleared this up, mentioned numbers are orange a few posts ago.
