Aux 4 coins de la planète la saison recommence. Ici en Australie, où Toyota Racing Development a présenté la Corolla S2000 lors du Melbourne Motor Show.
Déco plutôt sympa !

Le communiqué, en anglais, par Rally.com.au :
Ahead of today’s official unveiling of their World-first Corolla built to S2000 specs, rally.com.au has received a peek at the design the team will adorn both Simon Evans’ and Neal Bates’ vehicles throughout the 2007 NEC ARC season. The scheme, which takes full advantage of new rules set out for ARC registered competitors, is an aggressive variation to the schemes scene in recent years from Toyota.
Toyota will use the Melbourne Motor Show to today launch their new rally weapon to the media and public, a special occasion for the marquee as it represents not only the official release of the new shape Toyota Corolla but also the first of such vehicles built to Super 2000 regulations.
While today’s version of the car is purely for display purposes, reportedly without either an engine or transmission fitted, it will be identical to the vehicles both Evans and Bates will campaign during the 2007 season.
With Toyota and their rival manufacturer Ford both hastily completing their respective Super 2000 vehicles ahead of the first Round, the coates Rally Queensland in late March, today’s unveiling marks an important milestone in the history of the Australian Rally Championship in a move that the sports administrators hope will lead to increased manufacturer and spectator interest at all levels of rallying.
