I think this summarizes Toyota's season overall (and even the last one to some extent). They just focused on the Le Mans aero kit the most (and it showed, they seemed to have the upper hand until they all three cars broke).

More like every season! Le Mans is the big one, you focus on that and design a high downforce car around it, that's what I think Toyota's philosophy is. And to be fair, every lmp1-h broke at Le Mans this year. Porsche just fixed their's first and fastest.

Concentrating on Le Mans. Sounds like a good plan.

Wasn't a too bad race, good battle with Porsche and Toyota, shame they swapped places at the end, but what can you do?

hi guys,
I did a race analysis in my Blog: https://drracing.wordpress.com/2017/...race-analysis/ I think there are a couple of interesting points coming out of the study. |

Lots of laps for an average are a much better gauge than just looking at fastest laps. Thanks for sharing. Another thing that can play into this is traffic. So without boost override on the #8, it may have been wasting hybrid energy it could have used when free of traffic. Also Sarrazin was on call up and he is not as familiar as Nakajima and Buemi in the #8, so his stint was well off the pace of the other two. |
