I am definitely not a fan of Toyota, but I give them credit for getting into grassroots open wheel racing. Like it or not, racing needs support from big time companies with money.
If Toyota's involvement with open wheel racing makes the sport better, I'm all for it. My hope is their involvement will cause everyone to step up their game. I love watching those Toyotas get beat, especially by an Esslinger Ford!
And by stepping up their game up go the costs of racing and when racing goes up people lose even more money than before.
Sorry but the saddest thing to admit is WE (American's) set the Japanese up in business after we bombed their towns in WWII. We sent money and aid over to them just like Europe and guess what? WE are seeing the "benefits" of such good will.
Makes me sick as can be. Get use to it cause it will only get worse, much worse.
