Toyota - wait and see

Toyota says that it has not yet made a decision as to whether or not to sign up as a member of the GPWC. The suggestion that this was about to happen was made in The Sunday Times over the weekend, based on information which seems to have been supplied by GPWC insiders. But Toyota team boss Ove Anderson has denied that any such move is imminent.

Landing Toyota would be a big boost for the GPWC as it would add the world's third largest car company to the list of GPWC members which currently includes Ford, Ferrari, Renault, BMW and Mercedes-Benz.
