Rally2 with rally3 engine?

I wonder if they will get a better weatherman for next season…

Wasn't that Kamenik dude with their team?
That convicted bladder specialist?

Huuge gap between Kamenik and Hannes (Bluuford). End of that discussion

Hard to say. We dont know the pupose of the test. It could just be a system test for a spesific part of the car. For instance 4wd system, suspension or something.
For that they just use a stock GR Yaris engine, with a better exhaust, and the full spec Rally2 engine comes later in the testing plan.

I did find it a little surprising that it had a 3-cyl engine; a modified 1.6l engine doesn’t seem the best way to go for a formula where you are allowed to more heavily modify an engine. Everyone else has taken a bigger engine, usually 2.0, and shortened the stroke

Does Toyota have bigger turbo benzine engine than Yaris GR engine ?
(Supra 2.0/3.0 are both BMW engines)
Using WRC/Rally1 engine is forbidden by regulations

It doesn’t need to be already turbocharged does it? I thought the original Fiesta R5 engine (and maybe still current Rally2) was just a 2.0 n/a motor with shortened stroke, turbo added, etc etc.
