Anybody knows what they have to pay for breaching their F1 contract?

I don't know and I doubt that anything will come of it but I do hope that they get hit with a big fine, especially after signing the new Concorde agreement just months before announcing they are to pull out, maybe the money could be used to subsidise the struggling Virgin Grand Prix team :P

So, nothing official out yet?

I don't believe there will ever be anything official! I believe the FIA will quietly sweep it under the carpet, maybe taking a backhander from Toyota?!?!

If it helps i heard figures of up to 20million (i'm assuming euros) being reported in BMW's case, hence why they sold the team back to Sauber, so as to avoid the same fate.

do you think Toyota just closed up shop in case they had the dishonour/embarrassments the Honda had last year with Brawn?

That is a possibility but didn't they try to sell the car designs?

And is this thread only visible to mods/admins? as no-one that isn't pink or green has posted in this thread, are we a secret society now? :hehe:

Even before their exit from F1 Toyota knew it had throttle sticking problems with ten models of cars and SUV's going back to 2008. Toyota publicly admitted for the first time the seriousness of problem of affected models and agreed to a recall and sales stoppage until repairs are made. IMO the financial fallout of the throttle sticking problem is reason why Toyota left F1.
