Panasonic Toyota Racing was a Formula One team owned by Japanese car manufacturer Toyota and based in Cologne, Germany. Toyota announced their plans to participate in F1 in 1999, and after extensive testing with their initial car, dubbed the TF101, the team made their debut in 2002.
Toyota competed in Formula One from 2002 to 2009. Its assets were bought out by Stefan for the 2010 season.
Toyota returned to Formula One in 2020 after a ten year absence.
Formula One
2002
Toyota began their Formula One journey in 2002, entering the series with New Zealander John Zimmer and British driver Allan McNish. It seemed like Toyota had hit the ground running, with Zimmer taking consecutive points finishes in the second and third races of the season, but this run did not continue - with Zimmer only managing one more points score all year and McNish failing to register at all. This was all despite Toyota reportedly having one of the largest budgets on the grid - but at least they were able to beat Minardi, Jaguar and Prost in the Constructor standings.
2020
Toyota returned to Formula One in 2020 after a ten year absence, with outspoken multiple time World Champion James James Davies being joined by Kazuki Nakajima.
