Hi, friends!

Toyota World Rally team wants to start WRC season 2019 on a high's why they chose to test as much as possible. Just to remind you that their young gun Esappeka Lappi left for Citroen at the end of this season and then Toyota signed Kris Meeke who was fired from Citroen this spring after numerous crashes. In the mean time Meeke changed co-driver - Seb Marshall instead of Paul Nagle. I would say that this was the instruction of Toyota's team boss Tommi Makinen who is in charge for this kind of things.

Their best placed driver this season was Estonian Ott Tanak who won four times this season but what is more important to say is that Toyota had the best car in 2018 and that's why they won manufacturer's title. And that's not something to forget. Their car was just something to watch and follow.

So, they will have three drivers in the team this season and the first to test was for Ott Tanak who started a big work when looking for the right set-up. He was Ogier's team-mate and he learned a lot beside him. He will for sure make a right set -up for Monte Carlo Rallye in January.

For now, we can watch some testing videos.

Please enjoy...
