"Winning soon" is hardly an ambitious target for the World's second largest car manufacturer and the best funded team on the F1 grid by some margin - these guys should have been championship contenders for some years already.

i guess the japanese r the best drifters in the world ... and the TOYOTA company is the first in the world ... so Mr Penner you r completely wrong

A. Drifting is not racing. (proof lies in the fact that you can finish last in drifting and still win)
B. Not sure what you mean by Toyota being the first company in the world... but Bristol is right, it is the second largest car company/conglomerate, right behind General Motors.

WTF??? i thought toyota wanted to bring hybrid in F1??? did they have problems with the F1 rules? or with the hybrid technology? or did they just chicken out???

blacon: what does drifitng have to do with this?
and any race driver will tell you: drifting makes you slower! not faster....
those drifitng events are show off events... for the sake of watching... like figure skating... it's not about making it as fast as you can but as gracefully...

for a company as big as toyota they need to atleast win a single gp,, it will be horrible for a company like toyota - the size of toyota, the number of personels in toyota - not to win a single gp...perhaps they must change the organization structure inside the toyota f1 team, i know that the organization is not as flexibel as in the other team

yeah, i think toyota need some time to beat other manufacturers. they are not very experienced in f1. still a loooonggg way to go.

Toyota needs an experienced figure to win in F1. Take a look at Honda that hires Ross Brawn. Ferrari has Jean Todt, McLaren has Ron Dennis, and Renault has Flavio Briatore. So, Why doesnt toyota spend some money to get those kind of persons. It is the most well financed team in F1 anyway...
