However you choose to look at it, Toyota has been the most successful Japanese manufacturer in WRC.
Nissan has seen success in touring car and GT racing but has very rarely strayed from that realm.
Honda's racing heritage, aside from motorcycles, lies largely in open wheel (F1, Indy) racing.
Toyota is one of the few manufacturers that has dared to throw their hat in the ring across a large number of racing formats. They've certainly taken a step back from the well know racing series over the last decade but making silly claims regarding their lack of racing heitage and claiming "NASCAR doesn't count" just makes you sound ignorant. They were pretty dominant across a large portion of the racing world in the 80s and 90s.
