Anthony Davidson and Sebastien Buemi have been signed to drive the 2nd Toyota at Le Mans this year. Good to see Davidson has managed to get a drive with them even if it's only for Le Mans this year.

This topic could rage on like the winter tyres debate.

No debate, clearly spending the best part of £1000 to go up 2 hills on the wrong side of the road while overtaking a line of cars, on the 2-3 days of actual 'bad' weather a year we have, is great value for money. Winter tyre debate over.

Huh? I dont get the above?

Any way- great pairing of drivers.

[DanDC5]

Hope they do well to be honest, otherwise it's going to be a one horse race for the win this year. Hopefully there's a 2 car assault on the cards for the WEC next year.

I wonder if Buemi managed to keep a straight face as he name checked the Prius as being experience with hybrids in the press conference

[SpeedMattersNot]

Excellent news.

Be very interesting to see how Buemi goes too.

I hope the Toy's can keep the Audi's honest.

Didn't he almost run someone off the road on purpose on the mulsanne last year?

Or was it someone else?

Well I wanted to support Toyota this year...but with that tosser driving for them.....I guess I'm an Audi follower again.

That's an interesting philosophy on who to support/not support.

Why arn't things as simple as they are in football? You pick a team - you stick to it lol

or perhaps who he'll run off the road

i've also always found him very ungracious in interviews and in his commentary.

Davidson did nothing wrong, the Corvette driver should have known he would do that, if he didn't want him up the inside he shouldn't have left the door open.

Although I agree 100% ss7, you will soon have a load of pros enter the thread and tell you how it was his fault for passing a backmarker and then also his fault for not leaping out of the audi's way at le mans. The Audi crash at petit last year was pugs fault too!

More chopping and weaving then.

[Scuffers]

the Corvette driver drove himself off the road, period.

[heebeegeetee]

I thought it had been agreed by all racing drivers who expressed an opinion that Davidson had been entirely in the wrong with the Corvette, and it's only some fans who disagree, though of course I may be falling for a wind-up.

must be true then!

[Jungles]

Don't forget Ishihara. Not the best pick IMHO, but he's a Super GT veteran so he should do reasonably well.

Good luck to Buemi!
