Merry Xmas Toyota lovers!

As another Christmas dawns upon us, what have we got to look forward to next year? Well we have had very promising times in winter testing with Ralf, Jarno and Ricardo often being in the top three.
Well, I suppose that is to our advantage too. Many would say Toyota has one of the strongest line ups for F1 2005, second only to World Champions Ferrari. I don't suppose we could get anywhere close to dominating Michael Schumacher, and funnyman Rubens (come on Rubinho, end Schumi's dominance please) but we've got the reigning World Champ's brother and two of the most experienced drivers in Formula One. And remember, don't knock Mike Gascoyne, the man behind the pencil will do us proud, and the TF105 will be up there with the big guys. Many of you have faith in the man, we ran a poll on the site back along and these were the results:

Question: How many podiums can Toyota get next year? | ||||||||||||||||||
Number of votes: 57 |
33%So that means a massive 67% of you believe that there are podiums on the cards for Toyota next year.
Moving on, to Totally Toyota F1 (incase you are half asleep when you read this, or have just got back from the pub, thats the site you're on now!) Like the Panasonic Toyota Racing team, we have are One Team and have One Aim. That is to provide you with the latest news and images. But its not all about news, its about getting you, the fans, involved. The Toyota fans are one big family, and of course have one big thing in common. Most of you join in discussions of our TTF1 MessageBoard, but we would like the fans to be more involved. Many of you will have interesting stories to tell - about how you became a fan of Toyota F1, previous experiences of GP's, meetings with a driver. Or, maybe you are a photographer or a journalist. We would love for your work to be published on this site for all the fans. If you are interested in any of the above, please e-mail me at karl.king@ttf1.cjb.net. Any other suggestions you have for this site to improve, please e-mail me on the address above.
You will also have noticed a new section in the site called Sparky's Corner. The man behind these brilliant articles is called Nicholas Sparkes, and is 16. We hope you enjoy his articles, and if you have any comments, suggestions or criticisms about Nick's work, please e-mail me at sparky@ttf1.cjb.net. Your feedback is always greatly appreciated.
Also, just a reminder to make use of the TTF1 Newsletter which is delivered to your inbox every Thursday. If you want to sign up for this free service, please visit the Newsletter link on the left hand menu.
So, all thats left now is to wish you all, and your families a "Trulli" Merry and safe Christmas, and a very Happy and fast 2005. Don't forget to pray every night that Toyota can live up to their true potential next year. Stick with Totally Toyota F1 throughout next year. And please remember, this site is ran for YOU, the fans.
