Wait, so judging from the first few lines, does this mean Toyota is no longer going to hold this annual event? Or was the goodbye reference just to the F1 program?

Anyhow... the photos are incredible. It really makes me miss my time living in Japan. Makes me want to go back. Someday...

Saying goodbye to the F1 program.

With the LFA coming out and the FT soon to follow (and more sports trims for other cars I bet coming out), I see no reason for them to stop doing this.

THEY BETTER NOT!

How freaking cool would it be to set up an FT meet for this one year? Maybe not take our cars over but alot of us get together and go.
