Already been answered a few posts ago - Toyota has specifically said that it wants to be running at least 4 cars in the first year. To do that, it'll need another team on board.

Thanks, I didn't see that post. So, if no team puts their hand up someone is going to get a shoulder tap then. I suppose there will be a bag on money somewhere.

So what team wouldn’t be excited to get 2x chassis for free. Perhaps the cost in return is a seat allocated to a Toyota-preferred pilot… and if paid for by the manufacturer. May be another large saving. |

Someone has voted for DJR as the second team. Given that they are the Ford homologation team and now also building and maintaining the Ford donks, very unlikely.

A cynic might argue that DJR has done a poor job of running the homologation process, and as control engine supplier that a fuss free change in brand, from becoming a manufacturer to becoming a tuner, could be a welcome relief…

Ford could throw big bucks at T8 to take over as the homologation team and DJR fill the void left by T8.

In AA this week… they make a big song & dance about a matrix spreadsheet being used to select the second Toyota team for 2026
The article casts doubt on the possibility Team18 will be that squad, with BJR apparently the attractive option. |

The old matrix spreadsheet trick, bit like the cone of silence!
The first selected Toyota team, need to get their ducks in a row after the Gold Coast debacle. |

Unless of course the sale of the #6 Monster Energy chassis to be delivered after the 2025 season is to clear house before the Toyotas show up.
The thing to note with the BJR possibility is they took delivery of a couple of Walkinshaw cars and used their chassis tech for a couple of seasons… |
