100% agreed.

I suppose you can take solace in the fact that this will only be for Rally1 (WRC ) class cars, and Rally2 (R5) cars should still follow the ld school format?

2022 cars are going to be space frame cars. This is a world away from actual homologation type cars and their racing counterparts. That being said, yes, of course it will be the closest thing to a modern rally car you can buy for the street (as that concept slowly fades into history)

That's what I thought at first, however, if you take a look at the regs for 2022, you'll realize what I'm saying is correct. It will likely look very much like a GR Yaris...... but it will also be far removed from one.

GRMN cars have always been very limited. I think the biggest run so far has been the Yaris GRMN with 400 units IIRC. It's also been the only one sold outside Japan. Everything else has been 50-350 (first GRMN Mark X was 100, second Gen was 350)... What pops is that it also had a 6 speed manual...

Would be nice if the next Daihatsu Copen took it's cues from the SFR

Sounds a lot like a GR SuperSport :dunno:

So.... The GR Yaris will no longer be fielded in next years WRC. With the covid 19 pandemic and debut of new Rally 1 regulations in 2022, it seems that it's not practical to concurrently develop this season's car, the GR WRC car for 2021 and the 2022 Rally 1 car. This effectively renders the...

Other GRMN cars have set the precedence for manual transmissions. No guarantee of course, but also, so far the GRMN brand has been about ultimate enjoyment, rather than ultimate performance numbers. :dunno: What I'd really like to see is both a GT4 street trim (top of the numbers game) and a...

Nah. 25k of this particular model because of how different it is.

Well..... they have to sell 25,000 of the things by next year sooo......

Banging. The waiting list for these is gonna be a mile long.

Literally made my afternoon. :lol::lol: With regard to Toyota or JK never refuting the claims..... maybe they don't have a compulsive need to prove ppl wrong on the internet? Especially regarding a claim that was made years after the Supra and the 2JZ finished production.... hence having no...

Well. This thread escalated quickly... unsubbed. :nixon:

OMFG that sounds orgasmic.

1 - Source? 2- Toyota owns a stake in Yamaha and that partnership has been producing some the base for some of their best motors since the 2000GT. Higashi-Fuji TC and TMG does the rest. Other than that I share you basic sentiment.

Super Taikyu car. Not exactly "Tuner"

I agree with most of your post, except that I feel like the 86 really doesn't need a turbocharged engine. 240hp, sure.... but let it be NA please.

Seems like Toyota plan to stick with the formula. Parts already in production. Too far to turn back now. http://www.dailysportscar.com/2020/02/21/toyota-to-continue-with-wec-hypercar-effort-as-planned.html

Been reading about this drama all morning. Hope both the race and road car get to see the light of day.
