How much information do you have on the team? are you privilege to more information? I think NOT, Do you know all the Engineers, Engine designers, facilities, etc, there is not a huge amount of information out there that I can find so who knows what they have cooking up in their base. By the looks of the car they certainly haven't been standing still. Clearly Toyota saw something in Makinen, and if you think Toyota can be fooled then you are the fool,
Having a base and decent roads out the back all in a tight location is the ideal facility to test there modeling theories and also form an empirical based approach. Seems smart and efficient to me.
