Honda in F1 is like a secret, the BAR team. Not the Honda team. I agree that Honda has always had the best engines in what every series they competed but people just don't know about it.
Toyota has pulled a major upset in the Toyota-Honda war with their announcement of competing in the 07 NASCAR.

Yeah, nobody watches the Indy 500 anymore.

I don't really think the two manufacturers really compete along the racing lines. As hard as Toyota tried and as much money as they put into the CHAMP cars, they didn't stand a chance until Honda ended developement. They wont even chance F1. What do you think will happen when/if Honda shows up and decides to turn left? IMHO, Toyota had better do very good in their entry or they will be roasted in the auto press. If history runs true they wont have a very good showing.

Does this look like Honda going racing on the down low?
