So they can get slowed and hope for a chance they know their car better than a new team. I think Ginetta has a similar mindset. Toyota used the same style car for 3 years so I think an update was due anyway and why not go all-out with the last year of the TS050?  |
I approve of this comment, though it's a bit of a hard pill to swallow given that we want to see things tighter up front. But we won't get that until we get another OEM factory team, and that won't happen until the new rules are phased in for LMP1.
Not to mention, the new TS050, at least if you ask me, just looks flat out cool.
