THE RISING SUN ON F1 RACING TRACKS

Toyota F1 team now is the only Japanese F1 team on the track, since Honda withdrew this season. Toyota F1 team performance was so so in the past few years, but now they are in the top 3 after 4 races in this season. Also both drivers (Jarno Trulli and Timo Glock) are in the top 5 of driver standings. It seems Toyota is a rising sun on the track for this season.

Odaiba(台場) is a popular tourist attraction in Tokyo because of beautiful night scenes and romantic feelings. But I am more interested in a place called Mega Web: Toyota City Showcase. There are so many Toyota cars displayed there, also including F1 racing car. The F1 shown there is a TF-109 which is the current model for 2009 season. After looking in the detail of this show car, we did not think it was a real TF-109 except the slick tires. But we still enjoyed all the displays and the atmosphere.

來了東京11次,才第一次有機會看看公司與飯店以外的地方。台場是晚上去的,風景不錯。
Toyota City Showcase 當然不能錯過啊。那家賣店真的不錯,但是都沒買什麼東西。

台場那裡其實是可以花個半天時間,好好低悠閒逛逛
