Toyota at 2009 Goodwood Festival of Speed

March 20, 2009 by Matt Brogan  




Toyota, who have brought one of its GP cars to every Goodwood since 2002 will this year maintain that tradition with a display of its 2008 Formula 1 contender, the Toyota TF108.

Not only will the car be on static display, but Toyota says it plans to run the hill course to give spectators a better idea of just how fast the car is on a more regular track.

Toyota will also present some of its historic collection at the festival, including previous race and rally cars from around the world.

    Static display was about as fast as the TF 108 ever went…

    Does that mean Monza; Spa-Fancorchamps; Silverstone Nurgburgring; Monaco; Monte Carlo; Laguna Seca; Suzuka; Bahrain; Catalunya are “irregular” tracks?

    Does that also mean that next Years Australian F1-GP will be held at Wakefield Park [just to suit Toyota]?

    No wonder Toyota haven’t won a race/championship yet.. they’ve been racing on the wrong type of tracks
