Toyota unveil their 2008 challenger

January 10, 2008

As reported at Autosport.com, the Toyota team on Thursday unveiled their new car for the 2008 season, hoping it will help them take a big step forward after a disappointing 2007. The TF108, which incorporates a McLaren-style bridge wing, will be raced by Jarno Trulli and Timo Glock, joining the team after taking the GP2 crown last year.

The team hopes that the TF108 will be a significant step forward after the disappointments of 2007. The lessons learned have been incorporated into the new design. The car has a longer wheelbase, a major aerodynamic upgrade, revised suspension and a new gearbox. Wind tunnel tests and simulations show the TF108 is a marked improvement on its predecessor and the team expects to move closer to its long-term aim of winning races and fighting for the World Championship.
