You can have a Toyota engine cover for €5,000 or a front nose for €1,200
Toyota are clearing out their F1 parts bin and flogging it all on their website.
You can buy a part from one of their F1 cars for as little as £200 (€228/$322). And if you’ve got a few thousand to spare you could get front noses, rear wings or even an entire engine cover.
Brakes, light alloy wheels and suspension parts are also up for sale.
Is Toyota having a car boot sale another sign they are planning to quit F1 (like, for example, their F1 circuit dropping off the calendar)?
Or do they just need a bit more storage space at their Cologne base?
Whichever, here’s some pictures of the goodies up for grabs:

You can buy the parts from the Toyota F1 shop.
If you do buy a Toyota part - or if you already own a part from an F1 car - please send in a picture. You can upload images to the F1 Fanatic drop.io, or get in touch with me via email or Twitter.

There is no secret that working on the computer, no matter its outstanding initial performance, will eventually bring it to a slower functioning. Also, web browsing and installing applications will generate tons of files needed for some process, but never wiped after they are no longer needed. They’ll hang in there until you decide to take some action against them the moment you… (read more)

After suspending Williams formula one team for submitting their entries for the 2010 formula one season, the FOTA teams officially submitted their entries for the 2010 FIA Formula One World Championship.
Havent had time to go over all the details, so posting the official media release from FOTA here.
All FOTA Teams have today submitted conditional entries for the 2010 FIA Formula One World Championship.
FOTA confirms all its Members’ long-term commitment to be involved in the FIA Formula One World Championship and has unanimously agreed further and significant actions to substantially reduce the costs of competing in the Championship in the next three years, creating a mechanism that will preserve the technological competition and the sporting challenge and, at the same time, facilitate the entry in the F1 Championship for new Teams. These measures are in line with what has been already decided in 2009 within FOTA, achieving important saving on engines and gearboxes.
All FOTA teams have entered the 2010 championship on the basis that:
1) The Concorde Agreement is signed by all parties before 12th June 2009, after which all FOTA teams will commit to competing in Formula One until 2012. The renewal of the Concorde Agreement will provide security for the future of the sport by binding all parties in a formal relationship that will ensure stability via sound governance.
2) The basis of the 2010 regulations will be the current 2009 regulations, amended in accordance with proposals that FOTA has submitted to the FIA.
All FOTA teams’ entries for the 2010 FIA Formula One World Championship have been submitted today on the understanding that
all FOTA teams will be permitted to compete during the 2010 Formula One Season on an identical regulatory basis and
that they may only be accepted as a whole.
All FOTA teams now look forward with optimism to collaborating proactively and productively with the FIA, with a view to establishing a solid foundation on which the future of a healthy and successful Formula One can be built, providing lasting stability and sound governance.
