Panasonic Toyota Racing unveiled the TF108 at the team’s technical centre in Cologne, Germany, on Jan. 10, 2008. The new Formula 1 car differs from its predecessor on the outside and inside, as a result of the team’s search for improvement, as well as regulation changes. With an increased wheelbase, the team aims to achieve more stability and greater aerodynamic development potential. The TF108 also features a new gearbox and a new electronic control unit (ECU) for the RVX-08 engine. Further development will continue up to and beyond the first race of the season in Australia on March 16. Jarno Trulli, Timo Glock and Kamui Kobayashi were presented together at the event as Panasonic Toyota Racing’s 2008 drivers.
