Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu believes that running a testing program with an old Formula 1 car will strengthen the team’s personnel. Haas has partnered with Toyota Gazoo Racing for technical support and the creation of a new simulator. The Testing of Previous Car (TPC) program, involving Toyota personnel, aims to train engineers and mechanics for improved team performance. Despite budget constraints, TPC is seen as crucial for building organizational capacity and contingency. While Toyota drivers will participate, personnel crossovers between the teams are not expected for now. The collaborative effort between Haas and Toyota in TPC is aimed at developing young drivers and improving overall team capabilities.
