Toyota hybrid racecar has 2 shots to win Le Mans

Toyota is the last car manufacturer standing in the World Endurance Championship’s LMP1 class, where they’ll get not one, but two shots to win Le Mans. WEC is calling 2018-2019 their “superseason” as they transition to a calendar that ends at Le Mans. Here’s the TS050 Hybrid they hope to do that with, unveiled today in a roundup of Toyota’s motorsport activities for the year.

Toyota committed two of these TS050 Hybrid race cars to doing the full eight-season superseason in a slightly tweaked LMP1 class that now pits them directly against a host of non-hybrid-powered privateers, who hopefully stick around better than privateer LMP1s have in the past.
