The Toyota Program

While watching the qualifying this morning on Speedvision, Sam Posey made the comment that the Toyota is really slow, so slow in fact,that the 107% rule may have to be changed for next year, because the cars would never qualify otherwise. And this was their major reason for going after Brunner. I'm aware that it's a pretty secret program, but does anyone have any information about the program that could confirm this?

This doesn't sound too good for Alan or Mika!

Well, If F1 ever returns to Adelaide you would hope so But your right, I think Toyota are keeping everything top secret so far. But they won't change the rule, it would defeat the purpose of having it.

Senna12, I heard the same comment and wondered how Posey knew. Then again, it was Sam Posey saying it so I immediately discounted it.

I don't think anyone knows how the Toyota is doing relative to the other teams. And "Adelaide" is nine months away. A lot could happen in that time, like Ralf winning more races, [Muffy].

Yes it had me wondering too, EERO. Both he and David Hobbs were throwing out the odd little tidbit, as if these 2 have regular contact with the drivers and thus some inside information. I was wondering who in the Toyota organization would admit to the car being a dog so early in its development. And if it were true, why tell Sam Posey!
