Toyota left the WRC to focus its efforts in F1, whether they return is purely up to them.

Toyota returned to WRC competition in 1998 and was equally competitive and even won some events.
Toyota later decided it wanted to enter F1 as a manufacturer team, TTE was disbanded and in 2001 Toyota entered the F1 World Championship.

If I have any of my years mixed up, I am open to correction, I typed this from memory.

On the topic of rally car conversions, I have just started a New Mini WRC, using a Peugot 206 base. It will be a tight fit as the Mini is a lot narrower but it should be possible with out too much radical plastic work.
I also have a few other interesting conversions started so it might be a while till I get around to doing this one though.

Sounds interesting. Progress pics are more than welcome

Re: Anyone seen a Toyota Corolla WRC?

Not much to photograph at this point sorry, I have removed the front and rear bumpers from the 206 to put on the Mini (after they have been narrowed) and beyond that just played around seeing if it will all fit.
I am going to use the 206 chassis so I get 4WD so there will actually be very little of the Mini used, mainly just the body.
