    Well Toyota sucks at pretty much every kind of racing they enter, so the fans aren't really too worried about it.

    when they really put forth the same effort as other companies in racing they do very well, but toyota has rarely had a lot of money in it's racing R&D.

    Well they don't really have much of an excuse as they are the largest car company in the world.

    O RLY? Toyota has done pretty d@mn well in the NASCAR Truckman series. I expect their move into Nextel Cup to be pretty impressive as well. Also considering that they've got quite a few well known NASCAR drivers coming over to their brand, it'll be interesting to watch the Rising Sun overcome the Big Three.

    I hate NASCAR, but my father likes it so I get to keep up on all this crap. Not sure if that's good or not.

    The Celica has been a hard to beat contender ever since its introduction in the WRC when it raced against the Lancia Integrale in 1989-90. Toyota won 38 WRC rallies and 2 WRC Championships ('93 and '94) with it. The WRC corolla also did very well.

    and in Initial D the GT4/alltrac-turbo won every race.... or so i'm told

    Mine really dosn't leave the garage. People across the street think it is a tool bench.
