Toyota wants its revenge in Mexico

Battu facilement par Porsche au Nürburgring en juillet dernier, Toyota cherchera à retrouver le chemin de la victoire aux 6 Heures du Mexique disputées ce week-end où le constructeur japonais semble plus confiant que lors du dernier meeting.

Toyota must react to Porsche since the Japanese brand is 39,5 points behind before the 5th meeting of the season, while the crew of the No. 050 TS8 Hybrid made up of Davidson-Nakajima-Buemi is 30 units behind the leaders Hartley-Bamber-Bernhard in the no. 919 2 Hybrid.

“We hope to be in the fight for victory in this second part of the season, starting in Mexico, recognizes Anthony Davidson. I didn't ride here last year because I had a rib injury so this will be a discovery for me. We had a competitive car in 2016 and we should be even better this year. »

Toyota had to be content with a podium last year with a 3rd place for Sarrazin-Conway-Kobayashi and a retirement for the n°2 of Buemi-Nakajima.
