Toyota brings Batman to Silverstone

Tuesday, 01 July 2008 12:34

Toyota will don its bat capes at the British Grand Prix this weekend to mark the release of the latest film in the Batman franchise.

The Cologne squad has signed a deal with Warner Brothers Pictures to promote its new blockbuster film The Dark Knight, which hits British cinemas on 25 July.

To mark the release, artwork from the film will feature on both Toyota’s TF108’s cars, on Jarno Trulli and Timo Glock’s overalls, as well as the team’s motor home throughout the Silverstone weekend.

Bat fans at the race will also have the chance to see the legendary Batmobile and Bat-Pod vehicles, which will be on display at the circuit.

The Batmobile will then take to the track on Thursday evening alongside the TF108 in a special demonstration run.
