MEEKE LINKED TO TOYOTA COMEBACK
Toyota Gazoo Racing has opened discussions with Kris Meeke about a sensational World Rally Championship return with the Japanese marque next season. The Northern Irishman has spoken to TGR boss Tommi Makinen and the four-time world champion Finn sees potential for bringing Meeke to the team, if Esapekka Lappi completes a likely move to Citroen. Toyota team leader Ott Tanak is under contract for next season, Jari-Matti Latvala is near certain to remain with the Puuppola based squad in 2019 and Meeke could fill the third seat from Monte Carlo onwards. Meeke was dropped by Citroen following his Rally of Portugal crash in May and has kept a low profile since. He will return to the sport for the first time at Rally Legend, where he drives one of his former mentor Colin in San Marino next month.
