Most may not agree with the way it was handled, but Peugeot benched him for a reason. I think Pedro's proto days are best done with, he's not looking nearly as sharp as he once did. He would be an asset to a GT program however.

I think Trulli is a great idea + Wurtz did not get the seat time he deserved at Petit - both would be good young yet experienced drivers. Brabs would be good for development and experienced with many teams and types of cars. Engine = Turbo, Petrol, Hybrid... Chassis = Coupe (something close to the S102 I hope)

Toyota is not using a Dome S102 for testing. I saw the S102 yesterday it has been updated but has no engine in it, and has not had for some time.

Isn't it only updated to the point of smaller rear wing, but no fin?

Laurent Chauveau interviewed Stephan Gervais of Rebellion Racing. Interestingly he pointed out that lobbying is not part of Japanese culture.
Quote:
How is such regulatory maneuvering taken on the side of Toyota?

"They do not appreciate it, obviously. The Japanese need stability in the long term, confidence in one who holds the bar. They are not supporters of lobbying movements, it is not in their culture. They could tell, like others, we will come back with so ... If the regulations are is not to our liking, then they should push for it then go in their direction. But they will not that. This behavior is typical European."

I'm sure they wouldn't mind if someone was lobbying on their behalf, e.g Rebellion or TTE.

Why, as rumoured, would they show a car to the ACO a year in advance if they weren't testing the boundaries of what's acceptable?

The GT-ONE pushed the road car rule to breaking point with groundbreaking aero, so I'd expect them to have something special lined-up if they do return.

They may show the cars, but not all its details - the point would be to get the ACO excited about another manufacturer and consider this when they make the rules. Also if the car is a hybrid as suspected an early dialogue would be needed to help the ACO set the rules. Just as Audi had to work with the ACO to set the diesel rules.
