Depends on how many teams they came in with, what size budgets, how much testing they did with cars that havent been homologated yet.
How long have they been in NASCAR now? 3 years? I dont think they'd be able to replicate success as quickly. Its probably taken a similar amount of time for FPR to get their act together. |

A Toyota Aurion TRD in V8 spec sounds good to me! The prospect of a 3 makes in V8 Supercars would be interesting if they were competitive enough.

It's more a case of Kyle Busch/Joe Gibbs Racing dominating NASCAR than Toyota dominating.

Yeah, toyota are hardly dominating...Last year was woeful, and Kyle Busch is clearly on his game at the moment - wouldnt matter what car he was in.

So there's a chance they could de-stroke it down to 5Ltr to use around here.

This is all hypothetical.
If Toyota entered with a team like Triple 8, I think they would eventually have quite good success. It all depends on so many factors. Oh, and the local TRD rally operation is a more appropriate comparison than NASCAR. Last edited by mac; 8 Jul 2008 at 00:33. |

I think you'll find that any entry by Toyota or anyone else would come about once VESA and TEGA sort out this new "standard" chassis they're looking at. If they can hang any manufacturer panels on it that when things would happen. I don't think any prospective organisation thinking of coming in would want to go through all the chassis development and design that Ford and Holden have gone through the least 2 years or more. |
