There was a few times where Toyota only went 10 laps in a stint. If the fuel is set, and the refueling is set, the only way to increase the lap time is to be more efficient. No one should believe that these engines are nearly as good at that as Toyota's. They were even faster than the Porsche last year. There's no way the ACO didn't know about Toyota's capability rather it seems they expected more from the privateers. I did, that's for sure. They were able to get close to the 3:18's during the test day and practice sessions. I thought for certain they would up their pace even more. I don't know if 110kg/hr rather than 108kg/hr is really going to give them the pace to match Toyota. I doubt it. These cars are still pretty new, so maybe with a little more time they will challenge. We'll see what happens at Silverstone with their high downforce kits. But honestly Toyota's HD car is a record setter too. And if, like their LM-kit, it's even better this year then the non-hybrids might need more than just more fuel allowance.
