harperdc posted:Akio Toyoda basically created the Gazoo Racing brand as a lark to go to the Nurburgring 24 Hours, and now it's their official branding for factory teams. It's operated in Germany but includes Japanese engineers, and again, that's where the budget comes from. These guys have pride and won't have wanted to lose this through stupid problems, especially not after dominating qualifying and the first two WEC rounds. Toyota most likely had a very big hand in the rules for P1 Hybrid which were proposed on Friday, don't forget. Just FYI but GR has been realigned under the marketing arm recently.

Toyota can at least hold their heads high knowing they didn't think that bringing a loving FWD prototype to Le Mans was a brilliant idea.

Something fell off the 9 Toyota on lap 1 which got under the car causing it to go off, that bent the bodywork and hosed the cooling which blew the Nissan. I'm not even kidding.

I have the WEC stream muted with Radio Le Mans playing over top and they sync up great. What would it take for Toyota #8 to make it back to the podium? #2 Porsche is already going to need less safety time in the last 12 than there was in the first 12.
