Toyota renew Intel deal

Intel, the world's largest chip maker,  and a leading manufacturer of computer, networking and communications products, has been an official partner of the team since January 2004.

The new partnership will see the recently unveiled Intel corporate logo appear on the rear wing and nose cone of the TF106 car.

"We are proud to continue our mutually beneficial partnership with Intel Corporation," said Toyota Motorsport President John Howett. "It is a pleasure to work with such a globally recognised and successful brand.

"Whilst our relationship is focused primarily on the IT side, Toyota and Intel are two leading brands and both strive to extract maximum benefit from the global stage of Formula One.

"Intel's technology was a key enabler of our success in 2005," added Howett. "Our Itanium 2-based servers have significantly sped up our simulation capability while improving the simulation accuracy. Toyota will continue to take advantage of Intel's unparalleled performance to develop an edge in highly competitive world of Formula One."
