I can't think from what event though. Moto GP and 24 Hours for the Motorbikes don't contain any Toyotas, or do they?

Considering that Toyota will be back in F1 next year again, I find the chances of an LMP1 more and more unlikely.

Toyota MIGHT be in F1 next year. All current F1 teams lodged "conditional" entries saying that unless the FIA got rid of the budget cap, they would withdraw their entries. The possibility is still up in the air.

Lets hope so. The signs are there with the Rebellion tie up. A lot of people shouted toe in the water when it was announced.

Maybe after next year Toyota could give the team a hybrid system to test on their behalf. Then if the main team did come up to LMP1 they could give Rebellion a customer car? It would be the best news in a long time and you would hope it would make a few more Japanese manufacturers wake up, especially given the ILMC calendar.

Pitty that would be only for 2012 minimum


I don't think the Rebellion effort will be helped by Toyota factory that will only sells them the engine

I'd heard that the windtunnel in Cologne was being configured so that it could be used for things like touring cars/GT/prototypes. But that doesn't mean a great deal as it could just be means to make more money through renting it out.

I really hope Joe is right on this.

They have 2 wind tunnels in Cologne; full scale and 60%.

Not sure how they can say that yet, no details of accepted enterance yet, and the Lexus will not qualify for any automatic places so they will have to take thier chance just like all other hopefulls

Yep the one thing you can guarantee is that Toyota will take their sweet time before deciding to do anything. Definitely not in the Japanese nature to make snap decisions. I would hope (if it happens) it gets the green light next year, announcement around Le Mans time and then they can get to work on a limited schedule for 2012. But I'd say 2013 is just as likely. Sigh.
