Interesting, but his juxtaposition of Honda with Toyota is kinda suspect -- it's Honda who were caught cheating at Imola. He even mentions Soichiro's son and Mugen, who've had their own legal difficulties in Japan.

Not bashing Honda, but it's naive to think any major corporation is spotless top to bottom, or has never made mistakes or questionable calls. It's also a disservice to the probably 99.5% of Toyota's motorsports people who are honest and good sports. Singling out Toyota almost certainly means he's got a personal agenda.

 

He has some interesting tidbits about Toyota behavior but pushing the rules of racing in grey areas is what winners do.

 

Racing = cheating. That's just the way things are. Even when teams aren't technically cheating, they're loosely interpreting rules or finding loopholes. Nothing wrong with that, it's been going on forever and will certainly continue.

I hear stories from a friend who raced showroom stock with a Camaro. You would't believe what these guys were pulling off with "stock" cars. Race-tuned ECU, overbored block, hot cam, extra fuel over the capacity limits...the list goes on.

 

^ Exactly - that is why I say cheating is too strong of a word....

 

how about race teams = good lawyers of racing
