I like it, something new and different.
I wonder if this is something that other TGR projects will change as well, like the WEC car.

WEC and WRC were launched at the same time:

Finally something new from TGR ! It's not amazing but it's better than the usual same-again.
Now Hyundai needs a new look and the WRC will be refreshed in aesthetics at least.

I dont know if this will make sense because its a really weird thought, but after seeing the WRC and the WEC cars I kiiinda felt something like: "Well, Toyota is no longer 100% behind these teams anymore. They are moving these programs to Gazoo only" - And I KNOW Gazoo is literally a Toyota's arm. I dont know how to explain my thoughts, especially since english is not my first language, but it kiiiinda felt like Toyota TOYOTA removed one of its foots from WRC and WEC. haha something like that, Idk
Gotta wait and see if the Dakar truck will be black too.
If comes out white/red, then you can say my intuition is NOT 100% wrong haha
Add to that Kalle leaving half of the season and Nasser leaving the Dakar team. They told their reasons but maaaaybe theres more?Last edited by lmmjvss; 12th December 2023 at 21:11.

Even I can see that, as there's no obligation to enter WRC and do all the rallies. FIA are looking for more WRC manufs/constructor/team entrants, so it's obvious what they will have to do to Rally2....
