The win in Estonia was extraordinary, but still I think it's a bit optimistic to hope something special from the first season with Rally1 Yaris. He would be able to fight for rally wins, but driving for the title, starting first from the road and being good on all the events needs more experience. The overall level in Rally1 is just still one step above of the current Rally2.

There are three uncertainties named Rovanpera, Ogier and Evans.
Before we know where and what they go/will do there´s no idea of speculations.
If those three stay, there will be no Tanak, but at least one Solberg at the playlist..."Reis vas pät pat kaar vas kut"
Tommi Mäkinen, back in the years...

Is the 2 year contract a requirement from Toyota? I would have imagined Kalle to be in such a position to decide what he wants to do or not. Or is it related to the development of the new car? Originally Posted by Fast Eddie WRC
Jouhki himself obviously wants Kalle to continue and drive as much as possible.

I believe after last year Toyota won't let these half-season jokes happen too much.. and finally they pay the salary. with Ogier it is a bit different story.. I bet that for some 8 reasons he can ask more things
