    But be certain that there is still more bad news to come and more rapidly than you all think.
    Nonsense, read this:

    Of course no garantee that they will return to rallying, but nothing states they will only 'occupy' with building cars. If you only build, you will not sell, you also have to do something like marketing.

    Toyota should have never gone to F1 and they should have always stayed in WRC.

    US racing

    They are involved in US racing, but not sure if that is Toyota USA or Japan.

    And since they already have a S2000 based rally car, some of the development cost is already taken away !

    Welcome back !

    Toyota won the prize for the most retarded decision in the history of motorsports back in 99....i am very happy they failed in the stupid oversized cart championship.

    maybe now they make some wiser decisions...

    The most retarded thing in WRC history was to put Matthew Wilson in a car for a full season.

    I think the decision to put Conrad in a Wrc car for a whole season is even worse.

    It was a slightly strange decision. No experience of F1 before - mainly it was so they didn't lose face vs Honda who were supplying engines.

    In my view the WRC was their natural home.

    Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

    4 seasons to be precise And at least one more coming.

    Toyota would make a welcome return to the WRC, but I don't think they'll return until the new regulations come in force.
