Sarrazin replaces Davidson at Toyota in Austin

Requisitioned on the No. 050 TS9 Hybrid at the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps then on the No. 7 at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Stéphane Sarrazin will make his third outing this weekend for the Toyota Gazoo Racing this season. The Frenchman was in fact called in as reinforcements on the No. 8 to compensate for Anthony Davidson's loss. for personal reasons “, indicates the press release.

« Driving the TS050 Hybrid once again this season is a surprise but I'm delighted to come back and can't wait to see Sébastien, Kazuki and the whole team again, underlined the person concerned. I know the Circuit of the Americas well, which is actually impressive. I will give everything to allow the team to score as many points as possible. »

It has to be, because with four rounds remaining, Toyota is now 56,5 points behind Porsche in the Manufacturers' championship, while on the drivers' side, the trio Buemi-Davidson-Nakajima is 41 lengths behind the Bamber-Bernhard-Hartley crew. If the mission is complicated, the titles are still playable for the Japanese clan, even if by missing the American round of the WEC, Davidson should logically (except in the event of retirement or unclassified finish without pole position), say goodbye to his hopes of a second world title.
