That maybe true, but can you convince my friends who work at HQ in Torrance that? Highly unlikely.

I believe he's talking about the F1 program, which your friends at Torrance probably know less about than we do.

Actually I'm talking about the mistaken notion that Toyota will succeed in whatever they want. They have found that the desire and the $$$ isn't always all you need.

It is good that your friends in HQ think positively and haven't been "broken" yet. They just need to be realistic and then they have a better chance to succeed.

I'm rooting for them.

Bet you it wasn't FERRARI that convinced F-1 to change engine specs to NA V8s (and other changes) to equalize things a bit . ....
