"To meet the WRC's homologation rules Toyota would need to produce at least 25,000 units of the GR Yaris in a continuous 12-month period"
In my opinion this article should cite FIA & FIA WRC rules when discussing FIA & FIA WRC rules. Specifically the vehicle production number for homologation. Preferring to cite journalists who haven't read the FIA rules they have cited that cannot corroborate and often contradict their claims disrespects this article and makes it read like another magazine. I believe Toyota's press release is also incorrect.
It's my understanding from the FIA sources I have been trying to include in the article that Toyota will homologate any specific model of their choice into Group A, then make rally-specific variations and homologate these into the Rally Group of choice. My understanding is 2500 of that model needs to be produced for Group A (not the rally car obviously). This can be seen as standard form in the FIA's list of homologated cars and is the case for current rally car groups. The base/specific model numbers may used to exists but is no longer relevant.
As no GR Yaris homologation has taken place yet it's still semi-speculative anyway. Toyota's claim is that this car will win the WRC and we know a GR Yaris Rally1 is in development but Group Rally1 rules have not been published yet by the FIA. We do know that they do not require the original production bodyshell so the bodyshell talk is irrelevant. Whether a requirement to be homologated in Group A at all for Rally1 is also still unknown.
If I am wrong, all I ask for is a better source. I personally prefer the FIA for an encyclopaedia.
