Personally , I am glad to see them on the grid, but some strange decisions have been made.

They dont spend much so their budget is what they set their targets base. That means they developed the 2013 car for LeMans, not Silverstone (so far) and decided against running it there because of the tracks layout. They will run two cars like normal teams do. Just because its Toyota doesn't mean its a huge operation. Akio Toyoda has cut back on huge spending. Something that has allowed them to be frugal and turn a profit for last fiscal year of triple what they expected. This may be good news for the future of Toyota's motorsports. If they can get good profits and a ROI maybe 3 cars is a possibility.
