The difference there is that Toyota had past experience in both IndyCar and F1, the former a winner ( including Indy 500 wins) and the latter a virtual "dog's dinner". Their sports car efforts were always a top performer, it was a series of bad luck incidents that caught them out.
We always saw efforts from Toyota, Nissan, and even Mazda, who actually was the first Japanese manufacturer to win Le Mans. Where was Honda in all this, for all of their previous efforts in IMSA since the 80's, how many of them translated into anything that made an honest run in europe, much a less Le Mans. Outside of open wheel, JGTC, and IMSA, there's very little, outside of touring car, that you can really put your finger on.
Reasons as to why the ARX-06 really needs to be on the world stage...
