The decision to enter Fl and compete at the highest level of motor sport was an intended move by Toyota, the world’s third largest auto manufacturer, to further challenge its own capabilities. By going head-to-head with the industry’s top performers on the world’s premier racing stage, Japanese giant was setting itself a huge task. A sport with an enormous international following, the risks of entering the Fl arena are high—but there are rich rewards for those who succeed. Besides being a showcase for state-of-the-art technology, the intense competition in this most demanding of racing disciplines leaves no room for self-satisfaction. More importantly, it fosters the kind of forward-thinking team spirit that Toyota is seeking.
    While Fl benefited greatly from the added prestige of having such a distinguished newcomer among its competitors, the demands placed on Panasonic Toyota Racing last year revealed the shortcomings of not having enough experience as a team. Mistakes were made and valuable lessons were learned, among which was the fundamental truth: "To stand still in Fl is to go backwards."
    With the past in mind, preparations for the 2003 season included sweeping changes on both the technical and personnel sides. The management at Toyota Motor sport GmbH was restructured, with John Howett moving from Toyota Motor Marketing Europe to become President, thus enabling the company founder, Ove Andersson, more time to concentrate on the operation of the race team at the track. Andersson’s value as an inspirational leader was one of the team’s biggest assets in 2002.
