With 90km separating TOYOTA Motorsport GmbH in Cologne from the Nürburgring, TOYOTA has the shortest journey of all LMP1 manufacturers to the first WEC race in Germany since 1991, when the series was called the World Sportscar Championship.
This weekend’s race marks a return to race action for the TS040 HYBRIDs after a 10-week break since the Le Mans 24 Hours, when TOYOTA finished sixth and eighth.
