Gerry Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Wonder what they will fill their stand with at next years Goodwood Festival of Speed ? Couple of 4x4's and two dozen IQ's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Wonder what they will fill their stand with at next years Goodwood Festival of Speed ? Couple of 4x4's and two dozen IQ's Probably an FT-86 or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseys Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Probably an FT-86 or two. *hopes for LF-A* unless of course there'll be a separate Lexus stand. Fed up of manufacturers just treating motorsport as a marketing tool. Just look at the teams that have abandoned Rallying, MotoGP and F1 in the last 18 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at the teams that have abandoned Rallying, MotoGP and F1 in the last 18 months Watch out for Toyota moving into different types of motorsport in the near future. Also their facility in Germany has had hundreds of millions pumped into it. I'll be shocked if another team doesn't pick up where they left off.

Never mind moving into different types, I'd be happy to just see them go back to what they were good at, rally in particular - a Toyota "Focus RS" for £25k would be a welcome addition to the line-up. qfk4EanV1o8 viXw3xNqrpg ZEX3KSW-qdw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I should have said *back* into other types I wonder if the FT-86 will go into rallying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SupraGTE Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 yes theys should go back to rally , they still have some rally cars ,Toyota gt-One , and some pikes peak cars in cologne so the could start with historic rally at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 They were at their best making dodgy turbo restrictors, I thought. Work of art, people may not remember the scandal, a bit like Audi with their flat plane V8 cranks that had "gone funny" in heat treatment or Renault with their "accident" recently. Too much money involved, I would rather see a break away top formula with no sponsorship advertising, and no technical restraints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you on that one, Formula 1 should really have ALL the gizmos and gadgets. Helps with progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny g Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Toyota "Focus RS" for £25k would be a welcome addition to the line-up. I know, they never really replaced the GTFour - and that would have help them in the 4WD market against the EVO and Scooby - but they're established now... ...if only they made that Corrolla with 4WD! Was it a 3SGTE based engine in that WRC Corrolla? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Yes, it had a 3SGTE in it: http://www.rallycars.com/Cars/Toyota_GT4/Corolla_WRC.html The market is surely there for something with the dynamics of the Imprezza and Evo, without the looks of an old filing cabinet.

Gaz6002 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Subaru's version of the FT-86 is rumoured to be 4WD... that's around 70% Toyota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
