Zoom Fuji Speedway is very much home turf for Toyota

Ahead of the Japanese Grand Prix at Fuji Speedway Toyota drivers Jarno, Trulli and Timo Glock as well as Team Principal Tadashi Yamashina and President John Howett look ahead to the team's biggest race of the season.

Jarno Trulli - What are your thoughts heading to Fuji Speedway?
JT: "For us it is an important event in general because it is definitely a home race for us and we want to enjoy a strong result in front of our home fans. So we are all looking forward to going to Fuji Speedway and hopefully we will be competitive, with a good performance and a good result. The final races this season are vital in the fight for fourth in the Constructors' Championship and we have to make the most of every opportunity to score points. It is a race I am really looking forward to."

Do you enjoy driving at Fuji Speedway?
JT: "It is an interesting circuit and the facilities there are really good. As a track the main characteristic is the exceptionally long straight, but then you also have a twisty infield so you have to make a compromise on set-up between high speed on the straight and good grip in the corners. That makes it quite challenging, and I enjoy a challenge."

Do you enjoy a lot of support from the Japanese fans?
JT: "As a team we get a lot of support from the Japanese fans because Toyota originates in Japan. Also, they have always big fans of me personally and they have given me great support throughout the years. They always give me a fantastic welcome to Japan and they are really warm and supporting. I really enjoy going to Japan because I have a lot of support and my fans in Japan are very close to me. Every year we meet and have an evening together; we have a chat and spend time together. It's great fun and it's wonderful to enjoy such loyal support. It gives extra motivation for me to get a good result for them."

Timo Glock - Have you driven at Fuji Speedway before?
TG: "This will be my first visit to Fuji Speedway because last year I missed the Japanese Grand Prix as it clashed with the final GP2 races of the season - when I won the title in Valencia. I have driven in the Japanese Grand Prix before, back in 2004, but that was at Suzuka. Obviously I have already studied the lay-out at Fuji and I have driven the track on a computer game, but that is not really the same thing as seeing it in real life. It looks like an interesting track and my first impression is that it has a massive straight."
