Looks like the F1 defeat left deep marks on Akio's spirit.

F1 would be cool, but I would much rather see them at Le Mans with a prototype and have a factory race team in some of ht GT class cars with the new "Supra" perhaps.

I want you. I want you so badly. I want to be inside of you. Deep inside of your...driver's seat.

I'm starting to get the feeling that all of the technical advances in EV are going to come out of endurance racing. As it should.

I really don't see why manufacturers even participate in Formula One, the cost is astronomical just to compete. They can be a lot more frugal and get much more out of the Le Mans series. At least Toyota's involvement in Formula One gave us the LF-A. So something good came out of it. message to Toyota: Skip F1 bring back Supra

Amen. LeMans is way more interesting than F1, and I'd love to see a GT team.

It makes sense for a mainstream automaker like Toyota to concentrate it's racing and marketing dollars on sports car racing, as the regulations are less restrictive than F1. Toyota can actually develop some new technology for the street from the race cars, (and hopefully that leads to more fun road cars!)

Leave F1 for the Ferrari's, McLaren's, Mercedes', and Lotus' of the world (and energy drink manufacturers! :P)

How is this different than toyota racine since they are the same company, use the same chassis and engines...?

The Lexus Racing banner is for the RC-F SuperGT car and for the LFA that will race at Nurburgring.

I'm not sure if he approves of your tone. He has that "uhm, wow, that makes me really uncomfortable" smile on his face.

They all ready look awkwardly uncomfortable. It's like the photographer said "Okay guys, just relax and I'll take a nice quick photo."
So everyone was like, "Relax? What..umm...like this?"

Well all but the guy in the glasses... The way he's looking at me makes me want to make sure the door is looked at night. Either that, or the photographer is waving around cupcakes.
