Can we read anything into the fact Loubet had tests with the yaris rally2, yet ended up going with the skoda for this year instead? Or was that just down to budget/team etc.

Thats the question. But Loubet will start with support of Skoda France, so maybe that also helped with choice...

"OK" start

they were afraid they will not sell enough "normal" GR Yaris' to meet the minimal homologation numbers

Can't help myself but the Toyota engine sounds exhausted. There's no sharpness in it. It makes the perceived speed to be slower than it probably is.

That would make more sense if they didn't choose a Japan only model over the global model.

Well listen to Fiesta rally3 - 4 -5
They all sound simular to Yaris rally2, because they all have 3 cylinder engine.

Loris Pascaud is a new Loubet's co-driver
