Productive prologue for TOYOTA GAZOO Racing
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
The team entered two TS050 HYBRIDs for the official test session, which ran from 10am on Friday to 4pm on Saturday and featured most of this season's #WEC entrants, including seven non-hybrid LMP1 cars.
The Prologue is the first time for the TS050 HYBRIDs to share a track with this season's LMP1 competition, who benefit from 69% more fuel than the Toyotas as well as other technical advantages intended to enhance their performance.
The #7 car ran for the full 30 hours in the low downforce specification which will be used at Spa-Francorchamps and Le Mans. Mike Conway, José María López, Sébastien Buemi, Anthony Davidson and Alex Wurz all drove the car during 839 laps.
The main focus of that car was to test the reliability of components, as well as optimising procedures in case of unexpected issues. To that end, the team simulated technical problems to allow mechanics, engineers and drivers to practice parts changes and procedures for bringing the car back to the pits.
As planned, the #8 #ts050hybrid ran for the daytime sessions on Friday and Saturday in a high-downforce configuration as used to win last season's 6 Hours of Bahrain and completed 163 laps of set-up and tyre evaluations. It total the two cars completed 1,002 laps, a total distance of 5,802km.
Race drivers Kamui Kobayashi and Kazuki Nakajima were absent from the Prologue due to #racing commitments in Super GT in Japan while #fernandoalonso is participating in Formula 1's Bahrain Grand Prix.
Overall, the team made important progress in its preparations for the new #WEC season and, with the team's pre-season testing programme now complete, all efforts turn towards the opening race of the season, at Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium on Saturday 5 May.
