Not many pics, unfortunately.

The article, from F1racing.net:

Only the monocoque remains of Toyota's TF105 (2005) F1 racer. Technical director Mike Gascoyne, formerly of Renault and Jordan, said 'everything' had been updated since the Cologne team launched in January.

The underbody, rear bodywork, braking system, nose cone, front wing and bargeboards are 'all new' on the Barcelona test-spec car, he revealed.

''It's definitely the busier and more expensive (option),'' Gascoyne admitted, ''but (Toyota needs to start) behaving like a big team.

''We've made full use of our resources.''

Got some crazy aero features, those extra winglets in front of the sidepod mouths are interesting...given how much money toyota have, they should be able to do well, but if they will or not is anyone's guess.

Another 400 million =) .

The bottomless pit at Toyota. Let's hope their execs don't pull the plug before they start seeing results.
