TOYOTA Racing

Racing Noob here...

What's TOYOTA's standing in the racing world ?
What major races do they have a constant presence ?
They are not as big on racing as Honda does correct ?

They are involved in F1, Champ Car, definitely Toyota Atlantic series (exclusivity on furniture of engines), and I think NASCAR, or they are to be? (I don't know, I really couldn't care less for NASCAR).

They have already been in the Le Mans program as well. They've retired a few years ago from WRC.

You could say their presence is pretty weak, and probably weaker than Honda for sure. F1 is not a very good publicity vehicle for them just yet, though I have no doubt they have beautiful years ahead of them with the hiring of Renault's chief engineer (forget his name).
