Toyota Gazoo Racing prepared for Belgium

Hyundai Motorsport and M-Sport doivent-ils se faire du souci ? Après la démonstration des Yaris en Estonie (doublé 1 ^et 2), the Toyota Gazoo Racing a préféré réaliser des tests de l’autre côté de la frontière française plutôt que de travailler en Finlande en vue du rally next week (August 3-7). Do Jari-Matti's men think they don't need it? The 8^e will this round of the season offer a new lone rider for the Japanese? Before that, the four crews who will be lined up in Ypres (August 17-21) were able to complete their test day on the tarmac. Esapekka Lappi who will continue his 3 for the first time this season^e rally in a row opened the ball followed by Kalle Rovanperä, Elfyn Evans and finally Takamoto Katsuta.

Toyota reviews its ranges

The drivers were able to evolve on bases reflecting the characteristics of the Belgian round with narrow roads, often very fast, bumpy with crossroads and tending to get dirty quickly with the ropes into which the car dives happily. The only thing Tom Fowler's coaching staff didn't get to experience was rain. The 4 days were indeed very sunny and surprisingly warm for the region. While Toyota Gazoo Racing was practicing its skills on the tarmac, Hyundai traveled to Finland with Thierry Neuvillethen Ott Tänak and finally Oliver Solberg. For its part, M-Sport has not made any preparations, but there is still a week before the rally so it could happen in the coming days. It is also not at all impossible that Toyota will take advantage of the proximity of its facilities to carry out a final run during the next weekend.
