Mike Gascoyne's Departure
April 6th 2006 – By TTF1
Since the shocking news that Mike Gascoyne has left the Toyota team, our message board has been flooded with comments about the present and future of the team. Some have thanked him for turning the team around in 2005, whilst others have questioned his decisions and comments in the past. More…

Toyota’s heated discussion
March 17th 2006 – By P1
There are many questions about Toyota’s lack of pace; Will they be able to figure out what is causing the problem? And if so, how long will it take them to figure out the reasons? And then if they do figure out the cause or causes of the problem, what will their solution be? More…

Formula One: You make the rules
February 18th 2006 – By Luke 'Casanova'
Forum member Luke 'Casanova' has got the whole of TTF1 thinking on what we'd do if we took control of Formula One. Slicks, capping budgets, a return to 1 hour/12 lap qualifying and low fuel are some of the many suggestions put forward by our forum members. More…

My visit to Cologne
January 9th 2006 – By SOLE2000
In 2003, I was at a meeting in TMME's (Toyota Motor Marketing Europe) head office in Brussels, Belgium. Working for Toyota directly, we were having a meeting of managers in the sales training area around the world (in my case I oversee training for the Latin American and Caribbean region). More…

Brunner’s Gone
December 21st 2005 – By TF102
Hmm, not being able to work with a CAD system huh? Just as I thought. He may be brilliant and all, and his *Minardi* designs were considered/copied by top teams... but as the expression goes, 'he's past his sell-by date.' More…

Ralf TOYOTA Driver Of The Year
October 19th 2005 – By TF102
I prefer Ralf THIS year because he exceeded expectations while Jarno "simply" met expectations. Jarno was hardworking, phenomenal in qualifying, fantastic at starts. His qualifying brought himself and Toyota to the headlines. More…

Everyone’s got Jarno Trulli wrong!
September 20th 2005 – By Yuro
In the modern Grand Prix world, you need to be a fast qualifier as well as a fast racer. Jarno Trulli has been a subject of much debate on the grounds if he has either of those two qualities. Yuro looks at the reason's why everybody's got our man so wrong... More…

Why I Support Toyota
July 27th 2005 – By Trulli_amazing
I initially rooted for this team because I was, and still is, a BIG jarno fan! I've been following his career since 2002. Toyota actually reminds me of renault back in those days, lots of potential but still have lots of stuff to figure out as well. More…

An encouraging start
July 27th 2005 – By Naomi
After a week without a Grand Prix and many tests at Jerez it’s time to continue with racing. It is the third race in July and their second home race. More…

Six is not enough…not for Toyota
July 6th 2005 – By Naomi
Round ten of this years’ season, the kick-off of the four Grand Prix’ in July. It was a bit of a bittersweet experience…why? Although Toyota left Magny-Cours with 6 points, it could have been more. Still, this wasn’t such a bad Grand Prix so we can be quite satisfied. More…

Safety First
June 24th 2005 – By Naomi*
Good results at the US Grand Prix weren’t too far away for the ToyotaF1 team, until a serious problem with the Michelin tyres showed up. This was going to be a historical Grand Prix that would never be forgotten by anyone. That includes Toyota… More…

Better Next Time…
June 1st 2005 – By Naomi*
The first Toyota home grand prix of this years’ season, at nothing less than the Nürburgring. Toyota came here with high hopes to get points and even a podium. But what can two little things mess up their chances! More…

Monaco, Monaco!
May 25th 2005 – By Naomi*
A circuit completely unique, overtaking is nearly impossible and mentally the most difficult and hard Grand Prix…It’s the one and only Grand Prix of Monaco! More…

Appetite comes with eating
April 8th 2005 – By Little Queenie
A human being is a kind of creature who is never satisfied with the things he achieves. One gets to the good quickly, even too quickly. Had Jarno proved somewhere between 6th and 8th positions at the starting grid in Bahrain, I would have felt a bit disappointed. More…

The Road To Victory Has Begun
April 6th 2005 – By Naomi*
The Panasonic Toyota Racing team has once again proved this is not a team to fool with, with an amazing crew and fine experienced drivers. More…

The Winners and The Heroes
March 23rd 2005 – By Little Queenie
The second race of the season and the second unexpected finish. No, I am not quite right. Considering the starting order, the results do not look like something unpredictable. More…

The Race Evading Question
March 9th 2005 – By Little Queenie
I always wait for the first race of the season with a great desire. Finally you can hear the engines roaring, the air whistling through corners, enjoy the beauty of Albert Park… (It’s not like dull Bahraini sands.) More…

The new Qualification
February 27th 2005 – By Naomi*
Last year the team bosses came to the conclusion that the qualification had to change, because there was no tension with this 2004 qualification-format. More…

Telling Fortunes by Grounds
February 25th 2005 – By Little Queenie
Huge resources, one of the most gifted constructors in F1 and two very fast and experienced drivers. Here it is: what Toyota is going to make a brand new start with. It is time for them to swing into action. More…
