Elfyn's chance of the drivers title ended when he fell off the side of the road on the Monza rally. He's never seemed the same since and Ogier playing these games will see Seb become the challenger...
It would be a big shame, especially when they have the GR Yaris road car as a base.
How do they spec a chassis / safety cell when there is a free choice of motor and fuel source which could all require different placements in the car ?
It could be quite interesting shenanigan - Ogier deciding to fight for title and starting in all rounds but not announcing that.
More likely Ogier is being drafted in to support Toyota's fight for the Manufacturers Title. Pajari is also being switched to Finland for his Rally1 drive...
