    This should be fun

    I was reading this article and at the bottom noticed this information from Toyota:

    Toyota RVX-05 engine specifications
    Designation: RVX-05
    Number of cylinders: 10
    Capacity: 2998cc
    Horsepower: More than 900bhp
    Revolutions: Approximately 19,000rpm
    Valve actuation: Pneumatic
    Throttle actuation: Hydraulic
    Spark Plugs: DENSO
    Fuel: Esso
    Lubricants: Esso

    Article highlights:


    He continues from this article.
    So, how much of a head start does Toyota have? Given the fact that they had stopped development halfway through last season on their car to develop their 05 contender do they really have a bit of a leg up on the others?

    I doubt they have much a leg up on either the engine side or the chassis side.

    I fear Toyota this year. They have an awesome engine, GASCOYNE and two decent drivers. They'll be on the podium for sure this season.

    I hope so, it would be nice to have more competion at the top. Plus with the amount of money toyota is spending they should start to see some results. Otherwise, they're going to fold like Jaguar.

    Well if Toyota can compete with Williams, McLaren and BAR for points, then Ferrari can win the championship earlier in the season. There is just no way any of those 4 teams can compete with Ferrari even next season.

    Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater just yet; if the rest of the grid isn't caught napping, '05 shuold be an interesting season (gail me for my optimism, I know, but no matter.) BAR brought the fight to MS a few times, and had Kimi's car not exploded, imploded and lost body panels at random, he'd have been on the podium more than once.
