Toyota: “We will confirm our position in due course”

La Aston Martin's Le Mans Hypercar program paused leave him Toyota Gazoo Racing without a real opponent in the premier category next season. Without wishing to offend them, it is difficult to see Team Cameron Glickenhaus and ByKolles Racing – which shines with its silence – come to rub shoulders with the Japanese giant.

Does Toyota therefore have an interest in continuing to invest so much in this championship? Especially since the Japanese brand is at the same time engaged in WRC, where she shines in the face of Hyundai Motorsport and M-Sport Ford WRT.

« We are aware of the announcement made by Aston Martin and we regret their decision, a Toyota spokesperson told us. Aston Martin's situation is very different from ours, we will review the situation and confirm our position in due course. »

Toyota has not announced its withdrawal, but the Japanese manufacturer shares with us its doubts about the future – at least in the short term – of the discipline.

Another source of concern, he could well be the only so-called official competitor to use a Le Mans Hypercar, its potential adversaries clearly favoring the LMDh route.
