Has there? Do you have any links? It seems daft buying and rebranding a team to then leave soon afterwards.

No, haven't heard that one ever.

Hang on, I remember them suggesting it in 1992 at some point.

Well, it isn't a lie to say it is a rumour as such...

Rumours do not have to be true, and they have to start somewhere...

Hmmm...Toyota engines for the Prodrive team....may not be too far off the mark

When General Motors sold it's stake a few months back, in Subaru, it was Toyota that bought it, and with Prodrive's connection to Subaru.........

marz buddy do you have shares in F1 racing magazine? you seem to be giving it a good plug on numerous threads...

i cant see honda leaving F1 for a while, especially as they've made big investment and progress over the last few years - but thats just my uninformed opinion and nothingmore... maybe you could enlighten us as to why its speculated they might be rumoured to leave?

(or will you leave us in suspense until we buy your mag?...)

Thanks, I can now judge that in context!
They tried to get me to subscribe the other day, £1 for three issues. I declined their generous offer.

totally agree> the dullest team in F1 EVER. the sponsors, the livery, ALL of their drivers, completely yawnsome. gascoigne was the only interesting this about it. Sayonara cant come soon enough.

if you visit the factory in cologne you realise that its not just a case of going, there is huge investment going into that place - nah we aint playing anymore - they will turn to another series - Le Mans or WRC. I'd suggest though the if they do not win by mid 2008 they will go

I don't think anyone was speculating they would leave motorsport. Just F1.

I thought the factory was originally the Toyota WRC factory / site anyway?
