Just to brush you up on the facts, this is an ENTRY-LEVEL WRC car, not the likes of the class that you see Sebastian Loeb's Citroen racing in. It's the R1A class, hence the name. All you have to do is have a read of the article

Here.. "The TMG Yaris R1A is a completely different project compared to our WRC past; it is an affordable but exciting car which makes rallying's major events accessible to a whole range of participants."

"We have already received numerous enquiries about this car so we know there is a huge appetite in the rally world for a new Toyota; I hope this is the start of a new rally dynasty at TMG."

Nice... Hopefully all these efforts from TMG (and GRMN) will translate into something awe-inspiring in actual production.
