What he caught our eye was seeing, as part of the motorcade that precedes the participants, a Toyota Mirai doing zero work car that goes faster just before the first race car. What does a Toyota Mirai there?
Well there are two reasons to see the hydrogen car in this manner so unusual. On the one hand, Toyota Germany decided to put the Mirai make this work to promote the new model, which goes on sale in September in three European markets: UK, Germany and Denmark.

On the other hand, Toyota has decided to recall all rally fans who will return to the top flight competition in 2017, with a Toyota Yaris WRC and not a Mirai properly prepared.
It is strange to see the hydrogen car as strong support during cornering while driving Japanese journalist Mitsuhiro Kunisawa. It is not a sports car, as demonstrated by its numbers. It does 0-100 km / h in 9.6 seconds, exciting.
But the head of development of Toyota Mirai goes further and does not close the door to that someday a Toyota hydrogen can participate in the WRC: "It is our dream that someday a car fuel cell to participate in the WRC."
Do hands to his head? Let's not forget that the 24 Hours of Le Mans have been won over many years diesel cars and hybrids are the order of the day in that competition. Automotive technology evolves very fast and the racing world must evolve in parallel to it.
