European Grand Prix - Preview from Toyota

======================================================================

Panasonic Toyota Racing hits the Spanish streets this weekend for the
European Grand Prix in Valencia after a four-week summer break. This
year marks the second running of the race around Valencia's Americas
Cup port, on a circuit which includes a bridge across the harbour and
a super-fast second sector where cars hit over 315km/h. The team has
happy memories of Valencia, having excelled there last year when
Jarno Trulli finished fifth and Timo Glock, despite a heavy cold,
took seventh. With the TF109 showing itself to be a step forward on
the TF108, hopes are high for a similarly strong performance this
weekend. As with the Hungarian Grand Prix three weeks ago, the team
again uses the super soft and soft Bridgestone Potenza tyres, making
it three consecutive races where the softest compound in the range
has been utilised. Having achieved a double points finish thanks to
its strong race performance in Hungary on these tyres, the team is
confident of another extremely competitive weekend.
