As expected. If the world's most successful car manufacturer makes a £2.9 billion loss, what hope is there for the rest ?

As predicted by me around March this year ........... :jump:
Not that anyone believed YHS.
I just love it when I can post (at another venue) "I TOLD YOU SO!"
FWIW, I believe TRD will step back into the new look WRC sooner rather than later ........:applause:

Think I'll stop posting my ha'penny opinions....kiss of death!

...I get a real kick watching Kamui Kobayashi...
Watch him next year, I hope he gets the Toyota top slot...
Hope he gets a drive, even so.
F1 needs a little turbocharging.

Hey All,

Can you blame them - you can only hold your nose in a circus and ethical cesspool for so long - economics provides a nice out without embarassing yourself for what you have competed in.

Will F1 have honest ethics in the future?

Only when Ecclestone is either terminated with extreme prejudice or is strong armed out the trough.
I favour a dose of Ebola for him, very nasty and all over in 10 days........:applause:

At least Toyota is sticking with NASCAR, but doesn't sound like they will be involved with the IRL.

It seems IRL is still in Limbo, one reason Danica Patrick "may" be thinking of NASCAR. In my mind's eye that would be a very big mistake for her, I think she is simply too small for clunkers.
