Toyota team technical cheif Pascal Vasselon has said that the Panasonic Toyota Racing team has no plans to make a 'B' Version of it's TF107.

Toyota's TF107 has been in the headlines for the wrong reasons this winter. The car hasn't been particualry quick although there is a lot more optimisim from Jarno Trulli, Ralf Schumacher and the team as a whole coming off the back of the private Jerez test Toyota stared in last week. However questions still remain on the outright pace of thw TF107 Car and questions are bieng asked of if Toyota are planning to bring ina B-Spec model later in the season.

Team Technical Chief Pascal Vasselon has denied this saying a B-Spec model would only be considered to be made if the team thought necessary and he remains upbeat on Toyota's chances. ''We were also not impressive during the tests in 2005 but we had a good start to the season," the Frenchman noted. "It is wrong to interpret testing times as though they are time sheets from a race weekend.''

He continued; "We are still counting on having a good season and it is too early to lose our optimism."
