    Shame, but it was good for me while it lasted! It was an unexpected pleasure to have the WRC launch in my home city. I'm not sure about the value of it overall, I don't think the most was made of it. I have to agree with go mads that it's not so much not doing it that is the problem, but launching it and then backing out is poor form. I imagine Toyota had originally committed to it, but with the cancellation of Rally Australia and what was supposed to be the launch of the GR-4, I imagine that was then rescheduled to the show in Tokyo. It then made sense for the WRC team to follow...

    Anyway, I'll have fond memories of the launches there during that golden age for the WRC. Plus, I have a great souvenir on my shelf!



    And the back is signed by Tommi Mäkinen, Malcolm Wilson and Mr Budar! I don't think Andrea Adamo was there, or if he was, he was too new in his role for me to recognise. Not a bad collection for a day's work!

    At least I'm glad that I don't have to pay to go to the Autosport Show anymore!
