Toyota should pull out Ogier as a team scorer in Croatia.

Asking Toyota to only register two cars is ridiculous. Take a look at the past.

Because it's a sport and not reality TV. When F1 teams turned up with one car because of an accident (fatal/injury) the others still ran two/three cars, same in sportscars. Peugeot didn't pull there cars at 5je 85/86 TdC to be "fair" to Lancia. Next up a team retires a car in order to be "fair" when a competitor has technical problems or what?

I don’t see it happening. I see the logic, in that even if Hyundai did decide to run their third car with a different crew, whoever it is wouldn’t have tested, so they would be at a disadvantage either way.
It would make for a heartwarming story.
But Toyota aren’t rallying to provide heartwarming stories.
The regs are clear. Nominations would have been made at the time of entry, and entries are now closed.

Well done Toyota.....
Surprised many of you didn't see it happening. It was a fairly easy thing to do with time before the rally? All teams with 2 manufacturer pts scorers this weekend.

But not today, just unlucky... "Obviously, we lost 2m40.4s and we are 2m38.3s behind the leader. So you don’t need to be that good in math to know that we could be in the lead of the rally today....
