Toyota to pull out of Indy Racing
Brazilian driver Helio Castroneves
Toyota have not enjoyed much success recently
Japanese engine supplier Toyota has announced it is withdrawing from Indy Racing after the 2006 season.

Toyota switched from the rival Cart championship in 2002, and had immediate success with Scott Dixon winning the title in the team's debut season.

But Toyota cars only managed two wins in the 2004 season, while main rivals Honda claimed 14 wins in 16 starts.

Toyota's exit will not alter their engine development programme for this season or next, the team has confirmed.
