Toyota Drop WRC to Concentrate on F1


Thursday September 30th, 1999

Toyota will quit the World Rally Championship at the end of the season to concentrate on their future entry to Formula One. A spokeswoman for the team in Germany said today that the decision will be announced by Toyota in Japan later this year, perhaps in the Japanese Grand Prix.

Autosport magazine reported today that the rally squad would be disbanded to concentrate on developing the new Formula One team. According to the magazine, Toyota may even forward its entry date to F1, having previously aimed at the 2003 season.
