M-Sport could have had a lineup with two competitive drivers, with one of them partnering up with Fourmaux, but instead they have Munster as a second driver. Come on now...

It was an offer and the deals didnt work as the drivers wouldnt bring funding. Both sides lost out, but M-Sport has had a good season and what have Suninen and Mikkelsen had ?

Suninen has had a terrible season, partly with terrible car reliability ,but I believe Jouhki just did not want to pay {MSport) any more.

Mikkelsen was in a fight for rally win until Sunday on his only gravel round, something Fourmaux has not managed yet. So hard to pick a clear winner/loser.

Toyota considering a bold move... possibly running five Rally1 cars and using a satellite team:

So considering the rumours around other teams, we are not very far from changing the series name from World Rally championship to Toyota Rally championship

Just pressure on FIA to make a decision on where WRC heads from 2027 onwards.

I do too feel it's something that teams are doing now. M-Sport without money, Hyundai treating to leave and Toyota expanding to two teams. At the end if that is the way to give them kick in the butt, then so be it.

That wouldn't be a bad thing. Everyone in the same car, everybody equal chances.
