Wurz excited about the Toyota TS030

Alexander Wurz sera le fer de lance de Toyota en World Endurance Championship. The old pilot Peugeot Sport has already experienced the taste of victory 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2009 and must dream of repeating such a feat at the wheel of the Toyota TS030 Hybrid prototype. The Austrian was enthusiastic about the car's healthy behavior and the hybrid system of the car he will share with Nicolas lapierre et Kazuki Nakajima.

“The first time I drove the TS030 Hybrid it was really cool: just leaving the garage in electric mode is completely futuristic. Then, when you release the clutch and the combustion engine starts, you feel like you're meeting an old friend! When we put on the slicks, I noticed the car had very good grip: so I think we have a good base and that it is possible to make a really fast car. I am very happy, but also being an analytical mind, I know that there is still a lot of work to do. It's really good to be able to collaborate with all the mechanics and engineers. The Toyota Racing team is very international and it works well. I feel comfortable there because it is clear that they are all great professionals. »
