A very outdated comment. Petrol is here for a while yet but the future at the top step of the Le Mans podium is reserved for other technologies. To spend money making a petrol car go quicker is only ever going to be a short term solution, and if Toyota want to make a positive impact after F1 then they'd need to show commitment to the future of automotive technology, and they'd need to prove that they can make it work. That future is very unlikely to involve petrol.
