TOYOTA GAZOO Racing WRT

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.

Think so too, but not every n/a engine is suitable for that treatment.

True, but my point was it doesn’t have to be a turbocharged production engine. Unless I’m wrong about that aspect of the regs

Also the new bmw LmdH engine comes from a former n/a Dtm engine

Does even any part of the engine have to be a production?

Does even any part of the engine have to be a production?

For Rally2, yes.

[WRCStan]

For Rally2, yes.

I guess nothing more than the block then.

So 1 of 3 is now clear. Full season for Rovanperä, Evans and Katsuta while Ogier drives what he wants and for those events Toyota will enter four cars. Just as expected.

And that announcement was worth waiting so long

If Evans doesn't step up his game, then Kalle has to perform at least as good as this year.
This line-up doesn't seem unbeatable tho.

A sigh of relief for whole Finland after this announcement

Don't have to write articles about Tänak anymore and worry about Kalle not winning next 14 titles
