'''Panasonic Toyota Racing''' was a [[Formula One]] team owned by the [[Japan]]ese automobile manufacturer [[Toyota Motor Corporation]] and based in [[Cologne]], [[Germany]]. Toyota announced their plans to join Formula One in 1999, and after extensive testing with their initial car, dubbed the TF101, the team made their debut in 2002.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/1154217.stm "Toyota set for F1 debut"] [[BBC Sport]] Retrieved 5 July 2007</ref> The new team grew from Toyota's long-standing [[Toyota Motorsport GmbH]] organisation, which had previously competed in the [[World Rally Championship]] and the [[24 Hours of Le Mans]].

Toyota drew criticism for their lack of success, as they never managed to win a Grand Prix with one of the sport's biggest budgets along with being the world's largest car manufacturer.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/teams/4250051.stm "Toyota – Pressure mounting"] [[BBC Sport]] Retrieved 15 July 2007</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.racefans.net/2008/09/22/toyota-has-biggest-f1-budget-4456m/|title=Toyota has biggest F1 budget - $445.6m|last=Collantine|first=Keith|date=22 September 2008|website=www.racefans.net|access-date=28 December 2019}}</ref> Toyota was a well-funded team, but despite this, strong results had never been consistent.<ref>[http://www.itv-f1.com/Teams.aspx?id=2415 "Team history – Toyota Racing"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070929092629/http://www.itv-f1.com/Teams.aspx?id=2415 |date=29 September 2007 }} [[ITV Sport]] Retrieved 5 July 2007</ref>
