Curious. I get the impression the Toyota effort is going to be quite ... different. 
Former Red Bull Racing technical director Guenther Steiner is to leave Formula 1 and move to the energy-drink company’s fledgling NASCAR outfit.
Steiner’s existing role at RBR was occupied when the team hired design genius Adrian Newey last November.
Steiner will move from Milton Keynes to Mooresville, North Carolina, to serve as technical director for the Red Bull Toyota NASCAR team, which will make its debut in the premier Nextel Cup category in 2007.

“If as a European you are asked to help set up such an ambitious project, you simply cannot say no.
“I am really looking forward to working on my new task
