That was their first race with a brand new car, so I wouldn't expect miracles unless everyone else had the same situation. But the fact they were 1.6 seconds faster than last year and had numerous laps under their absolute best from 2015 is confidence inspiring imo. They went and did a two-day test at Aragon after Silverstone- http://www.toyotahybridracing.com/sp...-gazoo-racing/, presumably with the 'low' and 'high' downforce car to get a better handle on the setup. They had great top speed at the Prologue with both packages, and was about .5-.8 seconds behind Porsche with the same package they used at Silverstone. I wonder what Audi are turning up with.
