Tuhia he haere tonu mō tēnei whārangi - I tīmata a Toyota F1 i a rātau whakataetae Formula Kotahi i te tau 2004, ā, ko McNish rāua ko Salo e taraiwa ana i te Toyota TF102, i hangaia e Gustav Brunner. Ahakoa e kiia ana ko tētahi o ngā pūtea nui rawa atu o te Formula One, e rua noa iho ngā piro a Toyota i te tau katoa. Ko ta raatau tohu tuatahi i eke ki ta raatau whakataetae tuatahi, te Australian Grand Prix, i te wa i whakakorea ai te haurua o te mara na te aitua o te kokonga tuatahi na Ralf Schumacher i pa ki a Rubens Barrichello. I taea e te kapa te tohu i tetahi atu tohu i te whakataetae e whai ake nei i te Malaysian Grand Prix, engari i raru a Salo i te hiko hiko ka raru te kapa i te aukati a McNish. Na reira ka ngaro te Scottish, a ka mutu te tuawhitu, i waho noa atu o nga tohu, i muri i a Felipe Massa o Sauber. Ko te Whakataunga Nui o Brazil
, te tuatoru o nga whakataetae o te wa, i riro i a Toyota te tohu tuarua me te whakamutunga, i eke ano ki a Salo. I pakaru a McNish i te hinganga nui i te wa e whakangungu ana mo te mutunga o te waa o Japan Grand Prix a kaore i eke ki te whakataetae na te tohutohu a te taote. Kaore a McNish me Salo i whakawhiwhia ki tetahi nohoanga whakataetae mo te tau 2003.
