Rally2 (ex-R5) News

The Yaris AP4 car running down-under has been doing well and I'm sure Toyota could've used some of the info from that to get going instead of looking at all the other Rally2 cars.

I´m sure that looking at all other Rally2 cars is way more useful than looking AP4 car.

When the driver gets it right, it’s super impressive how this car can turn on a sixpence and drive off with instant response from the engine (see 6m20)

Maybe to fine-tune the car, but when they're only just starting I'm sure the AP4 car is a good basis.

It’s a different regulation

I think Lindholm as he’s standing there at the start of the video.

Maybe you don't know or remember that in Rally2/R5 car all "4 corners" must be fitted with same parts (dampers, hubs etc) so AP4 isn't useful at all.

Didn't Latvala say they would develop a Rally3 car first as there was less competition?

He was not sure back then. But a better option to put up and coming drivers into a Raly2 to look for potential.
I hope they make a Rally3 in 24, with some input from the Rally2.
