Toyota continues his rider alone. After the fifth hour of racing 1000 Miles of Sebring, the two GR010 Hybrids still have a large lead over their opponents. No. 7 is currently leading the way ahead of No. 8. Third place is still up for grabs between Porsche, Ferrari and Cadillac, but for the moment it is the German manufacturer's No. 6 which holds the lead. There Peugeot #94 finally returned to the track, in last position, after electrical problems appeared at the start of the event.
The #94 car is back on track!
A problem was found with the hybrid system which meant the #94 #Peugeot9X8 was forced off track.
After taking the time to analyze the both issue, we were able to identify and fix the problem. pic.twitter.com/6yhUE5bXZx
