But other than the horrible F1 effort and the pushrod V8's in Nascar, where has Toyota participated?? There was a celebrity Celica series in the 1990s.....

BMW DTM and the 1980's F1 efforts stands out....
TTE in WRC:

+1...Celica GT4 FTMFW. one of the greatest rally cars ever built, regardless of chassis iteration.
