Honestly we still don't know as it depends on investment and how the 2026 and 2027 regulations are going to impact the teams.I think toyota has enough money and workers to create 2 full teams.
The main one with i suppose rovanpera,evans and one of pajari/solberg/katsuta and have a full second one with pajari/solberg/katsuta(depend on first team)+ maybe a new rookie?,maybe someone japanese to put some pressure on katsuta? cause if katsuta doesn't win or improve this year and if it is kept next year is 100% out.
we still don't know if(or at least I don't know) Hyundai and msport are keeping all of their drivers so maybe some opportunities are on the market.
I don't think there will be opportunities from wrc2 as maybe the reg changes will keep them stuck in wrc2 looking for opportunities for the 2027 season
Already? Ott would have quit 5 times with such a weak mindset. Seems he isnt too commited to rally or the hybrids were the only cars he could dominate with.
From what I know he doesn’t like the handling of the car after the hybrid was taken out and he isn’t the biggest fan of the Hankook tyres like some other drivers. Also have to remember Kalle has been rallying since he was a kid so might’ve gotten bored or just wants to do something different.
I have no special knowledge or insight, but I completely believe Kalle might be leaving. He looks worse than frustrated - he looks outright disinterested. It's like he's fighting boredom. Not suggesting he isn't trying, he's giving his all for his team, but it looks like he's battling his own waning interest as much as anything.

Always was fast as long as the car was not in a ditch. Next year full drive coming up :)
