Heard a rumour that the Yaris rally car is a South African rally championship S2000 with a turbo 1600 fitted. So really it's just an engine test bed and not a massive project starting from scratch, if this is true.

According to Mike, the exhaust could be used to interact with the exit flow from the front wing/diffuser area. However, the interaction would certainly be small.

"Playing Devil's Advocate on the morning of the 26th; though how much exhaust pressure can be expected if Toyota are running some sort of exhaust recovery system (I must admit I haven't read any of the pre-season PR material, have they said in general what systems they are running this year?)? And other eyes place the exhaust coming from its usual location (engine cover)...but we'll know in a couple of days what's going on..." |

No exhaust ERS for Toyota.
They have already revealed that they will run a KERS on each axle. Quote:

Besides, looking at this other (once again blurry) screen capture, it would seem one can still see exhaust outlets on top of the rear bodywork, as this was the case on the TS030: |

The second picture really shows the exhaust, even if blured you can see the metal heat protection with burned edges on it. |

That makes a lot more sense. You really do not want to disturb the flow on its path to the diffuser with an on-and-off device like the high pressure exhaust gasses.

How ever, evidence seems to suggest the exhausts are actually in the engine cover as per TS030. |

Yes, draw enhancing front diffuser, but if that hole was an exhaust, you would be enhancing the flow way too late. When that flow from the front diffuser reaches the edge of the floor (on the side), it spins around it and gets sucked under the floor, in front of the rear tire, right into the diffuser. Blowing air under that angle at that rotating flow is just going to disturb it and you will be effectively shutting down the floor. One could argue that it may be a good thing to disturb the feed under the floor when on throttle, so you reduce technically down force on the straights, but that also makes it tricky if you want to do some throttle variations in the middle of fast corners, when you do need continuous/predictable flow into the diffuser. But if someone figures out how to create the exhaust in a way that energizes further the rotation and also does not abruptly change things upon backing up the throttle, I would love to see how that works.

Would they be pleased if the suspense actually killed me?

And at 4pm cet, Alex Wurz and Sebastian Buemi will answer questions on twitter with #AskTS040. So hopefully some good questions are put to them. I asked about the power of the electric motors

I am hopeful that we will get that information at noon, when they reveal the technical specifications of the TS040.
