But shouldn't Toyota have been dealing with brake by wire and regen and such for a while, given that all of their LMP1 cars have been hybrids, and that the TS040 and -050 depended a lot more on the hybrid system for motive power (and hence regen and stuff related to braking was much more important)?
Then again, those cars also weighed much less than the GR010.
Alpine can be in the cat bird seat as far as reliablity, in that the Oreca/Rebellion chassis is proven, as is the Gibson V8 and XTrac gearbox. However, it hasn't run a full LM24 at the weight it's running at, either.
