Re: Toyota/ MakinenMakinen - The lack of info isn't helping ; what is going there? There's all kinds of questions not being asked by the WRC journalists; most of whom are merely PR people - and don't ask anything remotely difficult. Contrast with Sportscars - and the excellent DSC/ Graham Goodwin.

Most of the Yaris testing videos are from when TMG were running the development.

Well according to some on a certain forum, spectators aren't wanted/ needed at rally events.

At least they tell you there are restrictions. Imagine driving 100-150+ miles to be stuck in the same place all day.

The journalists seem desperate for Loeb to return - so any story is blown up "Loeb returns to the WRC" when actually his team SLR will run a JWRC programme; as well as WTCC, Porsche SuperCup, French GT etc

I'd recommend people listen to the Absolute Rally podcast with Mark James; and hear his views on the WRC and the promotion ( or lack of) fascinating and right on the mark......
