Latest rumour I've heard is that Solberg may be looking at occasional R1 drives with a standalone Yaris R1 with Monster money. Apparantley the posse where at Toyota for talks last week...

Rally1. R1 is the weakest car of FIA rally pyramid.

He could be a good candidate to test and race the Yaris Rally2, combined with some Rally1 driving when the car is "free".
Can monster pay that much ? (Presume the running of a Rally1 is quite expensive)
But, the same for M-sport..

But Rally2 Yaris won't be ready for any competition next year.
Either way I would say they are still exploring their options.

Just hoping we see more Rally 1 cars from the teams other than M Sport to make it more interesting for everyone and that will hopefully allow younger drivers/new names to get noticed rather than waiting for the current crop of drivers to move on. Winning WRC2/ERC etc doesnt mean a shoe in to a top level drive it would appear..
