the funny thing in all of this is that, practically, the EoT was approved by Toyota. The point is that they did it wrong! And now they are pushing to pull the Privateers back.
It is ok to have a EoT for so different technologies, but once you set the rule you should not change them during the season. This is unfair. I know the rules say they are allowed to do this, but in my personal opinion this is not fair.
If toyota was so "naive" to let the privateers to have too much performance (and it is not yet sure if this is the case), then they should blame the face in the mirror...
AFAIK, several engineers inside toyota mentioned this problem already some months ago, but the "big heads" simply ignored their warnings...
On the same level, it is simply astonishing to think that Oreca, who practically did a big part of the work in designing and engineering Toyota's cars, can produce its own lmp1 and run against Toyota. They knows toyota's cars extremely good, so they know exactly what they have to achieve to be competitive. But apparently Toyota had no issues in allowing them to build a competitor LMP1, although they had so much data about Toyota's own car...
