Toyotas slowed very slowly at Spa

After five months of interruption, the WEC will resume its rights next week in Belgium, with the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps. As usual, the Belgian round will serve as a dress rehearsal before the 24 Hours of Le Mans (September 19-20).

If Ginetta will be conspicuous by its absence and Rebellion Racing will only be present with one car, the Swiss team and its R13 led by Bruno Senna-Norman Nato-Gustavo Menezes will have a real chance of victory given the EoT presented by the governing bodies.

En effet, leader du championnat, la Toyota TS050 Hybrid n°7 ne devrait pouvoir rouler qu’à 3 »52 de ses meilleurs chronos théoriques, quand n°8 is penalized by 3”08. An immeasurable handicap! The Swiss car, the work of Oreca, will only concede “only” 1”58 from its theoretical best times, which is as much as the Enso CLM P1/01-Gibson, which is making its first appearance in the WEC this season.

Furthermore, in GTE Pro, the minimum weight of the Ferrari 488 GTE Evo est fixé à 1280 kg contre 1277 à la Porsche 911 RSR-19 et 1257 à l’Aston Martin Vantage AMR. Finally, the success ballast governing the GTE Am forces the No. 98 Vantage AMR to carry 25 kg of excess weight, which is as much as the No. 90 of TF Sport and 10 more than the No. 488 Ferrari 83 GTE of AF Corse. , leader of the championship.
