Panasonic Toyota Racing was a Formula One team owned by the Japanese car maker Toyota and based in Cologne, Germany. Toyota announced their plans to join Formula One in 1999, and after a long time testing with their TF101 car, the team raced for the first time in 2002.

The new team has grown from Toyota's long standing European Toyota Motorsport organisation, which has previously competed in the World Rally Championship and the 24 hours of Le Mans.

Toyota have never won a grand prix, with their best finish being 2nd place, and they achieved 13 podiums and 3 pole positions, as well as a best finishing position in the World constructors' championship at 4th with 88 points. ±
