The Toyota F1 team announced that they will team up with Warner Brothers to promote the new Batman movie, The Dark Knight, at the British Grand Prix. Both Toyota drivers and cars will be decked out with artwork from the movie. But to be honest folks, I don't think Batman would be caught dead behind the wheel of say, a Toyota Camry. He's too badass to be a Toyota driver. The Batmobile and Bat-Pod will also be at Silverstone for the race weekend.
In Toyota related news, Timo Glock, who drives for the Toyota F1 team, will get a chance to get behind the wheel of a Toyota GT-One sports car, the same car the that took pole for the 1999 24 hours of Le Mans, at Old Time Grand Prix event at the Nurburgring circuit in Germany on August 9th.
Maybe Batman would like to drive one of those, instead.
