Reply With QuoteFucking soft Toyota, just after beating GM for most sales of vehicles ever.
Honda wont they just pulled out of F1
Mazda wont, they are partly owned and mainly controlled by Ford who are financially up shit creek also.
Toyota pull out of Australian Rally Championship
Stolen from but im sure they will find a way to drive. Great opportunity for mazda or honda to enter with some decent steerers and talkers.

soft? you dont get to the top by being soft. you get to the top by being smart.
when theres heaps of cash around.. hey sure, fling some at some pointless competition.. but.. honestly. whats sort of returns do you think theyre getting by competing in the ARC?
no offense to rally fans, pointless i mean from a marketing point of view.
I tought this car would be the back door way to see Toyota in the WRC in 2010 with an S2000, obviously not.. I still dont know why they got involved in F1 in the 1st place. Should have stuck with Rallying & Touring car... boooooo Toyota. Their current fleet of sports cars is impressive.
Not a huge surprise, after they canned TRD. The ARC will be better off without a single S2000 manufacturer anyway. Better competition this way.
I expect Neil Bates and the rest of them to continue to race. If not at the next rally, the one after that. Maybe even with the same car, just different stickers. Will be interesting to see. Next one is in Tasmania I believe.
Well there you go. Neil Bates will do the tarmac round in Tassie in 2 weeks. He owns the business so can do what he wants. Only the vinal stickers may say something else, which may not be decided till the last minute.
yeah, it clearly says toyota are happy for him to continue to drive a toyota in competition, theyre just not gonna pay for it.
Just found this picture from years ago. Maybe way off topic. The toolbox on the left is mine, but I had no connection to the team. It was just my workspace. I got a T-shirt, that was it.
whats happening to the cars? does neil own one or do toyota? will they sell them off?
