Toyota has the speed, the reliability, and proper management. The only disadvantage against Toyota is 2 cars vs 3. But I wouldn't be surprised if Audi wins. There is something about Le Mans that brings out the absolute best from Audi.
Absolutely, I drove away from Spa thinking "Toyota, magnificent, but only two rounds in their gun". Audi have always been at their best when the back is against the wall - in 2011 even my 80+ year old mother phoned me to say how much she'd been struck by the denouement of the race. Audi are going in to this more on the back foot than they've ever been - and while I'll toast a Toyota win, if Audi pull this one off I'll happily salute it.
