[4] The area below the nose of the car was clear of intrusion from suspension components due to the "zero keel" design.

In fact at the front of the car, the monocoque was 30mm higher than on the TF106B, which resulted in dramatically sloped suspension wishbones.

Although this approach compromised the front suspension geometry possibilities, the Toyota engineers came to the conclusion that this was not a problem.

As part of this partnership, Toyota used a new gearbox developed in collaboration with Williams, which used seamless shift technology.

By the end of the season, the team embarrassingly scored less points than WilliamsF1 who have the same engine as them in the Constructors' Championship.
