The future of Kris Meeke remains up in the air. The irish are without a team for 2016 after the departure of Citroën in the WRC. Although many have taken for granted that it will continue in the orbit of the French brand with a private program in PH Sport and working in the World Rally Car for 2017, it is certain that Meeke has probed the market. Visited the facilities of Hyundai Motorsport after the summer and has also been intimated by the installations of Tommi Mäkinen Racing in Kyvaskyla. In fact, ‘Autosport’ assumes an agreement between Kris Meeke and Toyota.
Be a pilot officer, Toyota is a very succulent, by the history of the brand in the WRC and the resources that can handle the equipment. Despite this, Kris Meeke has refused to rule on his future, although according to ‘Autosport’ would have already signed a contract for several seasons. His current contract with Citroen ends at the end of 2015, therefore, in the case of be certain these information, there will be no confirmation until the end of their relationship with the signing of the PSA Group. The british would have before the mission’s immediate work on the development of the Yaris WRC.
While Kris Meeke is left wanting, Tommi Mäkinen has also spoken. The pattern of the team Toyota Gazoo Racing had good words for the british pilot: “Kris is a very nice person, we like a lot and yes I have quoted with it. We’ve seen recently. Meeke is someone who we could imagine on our team“. Some words are laden with meaning and that come just after the declaration of the interest on the four times champion of the WRC. Tommi Mäkinen wants three Yaris WRC in their debut and seen what has been seen, one could be for Kris Meeke.
