Just because theyre off pace in Spa doesnt mean the same will happen at Le Mans. I think theyll be in contention. Maybe not as fast as Porsche in qualifying, but I think itll definitely be a race.
Hiro, the pictures you see on Toyotas twitter are of the high downforce car. Davidson explained the LM car is unique to that track. Plus, those diveplanes werent even used, so they could be just putting the car up for show.

What stops Toyota from using diesel ?
By that logic everybody should be on diesel... its an inherent *NATURAL* advantage... and if the FIA/ACO press releases/papers from then to now focus with particular emphases on efficiency, penalizing what is *naturally* more efficient isn't it a gross contradiction ?? ... for an unnatural attempt to balance what is not naturally balanced ??
So it would had been only *natural* top teams on diesel engines... Dr. Ulrich probably had been retired by now...
