Plus in 2013, Toyota set their car up for mixed conditions. And also ran slower because they were trying to maximise the 3 liter bop given to them to go an extra lap than Audi. Imo, even if they didn't go that route, their best would be 3:24's which is still slower than Audi.

Im a Toyota fan, so of course I want them to win. But realistically I think this year, theyre in the best position since 98-99. Last two years they only had the stint length in '13 and were newcomers in '12. I think Vette will be strong this year as well. Hoping for a great battle up front in those two classes.
