All the juicy details here! They have clearly been working on that thing for a while, can not wait to see it at Le Mans!

Undecided on 4wd or 2wd.
Brand new engine.
Lots of elements of the Dome and old F1 car.
Two entries applied for Le Mans.

very intresting ,well done toyota

very interesting read, the restrictors on diesels have been tightened again i see, i see it being fast, possibly faster than the audi (bar driver skill the R18 isnt that quick outright) but as per their slick pit work makes them ridiculously good.

saying that toyota/oreca wouldn't enter it with a less than able crew, i think it'll go after a few hours, but it'll make audi sit up n watch. kristensen/mcnish's race to lose this year...

So who will drive the second car? The rumours suggest Seb Buemi, Hiroaki Ishiura and maybe Ant Davidson, which would be an interesting setup.

Fantastic! Love the way it pulls off on electric mode then fires up. The car sounds great too.

Hopefully this will be the way things are going - faze out the dull diesels

Hmmm - Looks great, sounds great and with a Toyota works team behind it there is no way they are going to Le Mans to drop out after a few hours.

Buemi and Davidson confirmed for car 2, thats a strong lineup for both cars.

Good news about Buemi; wonder if his cousin will be racing at Le Mans?

Unfortunately I don't think so...
