Toyota promises web finale for fans

Toyota Logo 588I’m keeping a virtual death watch, of sorts, on the Toyota and BMW F1 teams via their official websites.

Today, Toyota announced that their final hours are not going to be quiet. The team is planning some sort of farewell, and it just might be worth checking out:

The end of Panasonic Toyota Racing’s Formula 1 programme is not the end of activity on www.toyota-f1.com – far from it.

In the next few days we will offer our fans a few farewell gifts on this website to say thanks for the wonderful support and, hopefully, to give you a few more great memories to cherish from our Formula 1 adventure.

We are currently working on some special treats for you, so stay tuned to www.toyota-f1.com for some final fun.

And don’t forget Toyota Motorsport Festival on November 22 – we will keep you updated!

Who knows what could be on offer? Maybe a toy train signed by Jarno Trulli?

All joking aside, I do have to hand it to the people working on the website [and, by extension, at the team] for keeping an upbeat attitude when they all face severance deals.

    We could have fun with this! Let’s see:
    1. An in-depth look into what was in Trulli’s evidence against Sutil?
    2. A video of Kobe making sushi?
    3. Proof that Glock really did pull aside to let Hamilton win the WDC?
    4. Another copy of Ferrari’s technical manuals – showing every team had copies?
    5. Donut/burnout videos – what else are you going to do with all of the extra tires?
    6. Another announcement that Toyota will be sticking around for the 2011 season?

    What if I wasn’t a fan? Do I still get my farewell gifts?

    I’ve only met a few people that are Trulli fans. I’m sure it won’t be a problem! Why hold Trulli’s hand waving against him? Or was it that crazy interview?

  4. Frenchie says:

    A limited edition Lego Trulli train seems a great idea. You could stick it on top of the shelves or the fireplace next to Ferrari’s Lego Kimi raikkonen.
