I was reading the other day that at Spa, the #7 (non-Alonso) car was the significantly quicker of the two. It would have been on pole had there not been some sort of fuel system irregularity (on a toyota... ring any bells anyone? ) . The part wasn't a performance differentiator, but the #7 car was forced to start from the pits a lap down (because the rules say that the infringing car has to wait until the whole field has done one lap....
Given that sort of lead the #8 car should have sailed off into the distance, but the #7 actually caught the #8 by the last pitstop of the 6h race, and then sat behind, based on team orders decided before the start (you race until the last pitstop then hold position).
Basically, of the two toyotas, the faster one is the one without Fernando.
Interesting indeed.
The faster one on the day certainly. These things wax and wane in WEC.

The gap to the other P1 cars was disappointing considering the BoP the organisers had allegedly put in.
Did McLaren have the slowest chassis of all in Canada? Interesting...
