Toyota announces 2012 Le Mans return with hybrid LMP1 car - Le Mans news - AUTOSPORT.com

**Tom206wrc** · 14th Oct 11, 12:50

This is sooo exciting news

Can't wait to see the car anddiscover the names of crew who will drive it

**wedge** · 14th Oct 11, 15:18

Brilliant!

Can't wait for the spy shots in testing.

Now to wait for official news from Nissan. At Silverstone a guy from Nissan told Hindy they were still evaluating a works effort.

Would love to see Lucas Ordóñez in a P1 car. Nissan would be stupid not to retain the guy and got to an arch rival!

**Tom206wrc** · 15th Oct 11, 08:46

Why not a return "at home" for McNish and Collard(the 1999 Toyota drivers) ???

**wedge** · 20th Jan 12, 14:21

New Toyota unleashed!

Nose section/front splitter resembles the 908 but with aggressive diffuser

Cockpit resembles the Dome but more like the GT-One at the rear if you took the fin off.

Hopefully it makes an impact on its debut like the GT-One did.

Side profile looks hideous. The rules allow a larger endplates and the paint job will need re-working IMO - more red and electric streaks please!

This is how the car sounds: #tvider: share ur status wid video, image or voice act on web & mobile! - Tvider

Pitlane/EV mode. Thought we'd get a glorified golf cart but I'm actually liking this. There's a Star Wars/X-Wing sound to it

"Red Leader standing by"

"Gold Leader standing by..."

Onboard

I like it, il be supporting them at Le Mans!

**big_sw2000** · 31st Jan 12, 17:12

Yes i think there will be a lot of support, simply because it sounds awsome.
I love the idea behind deisel technolgy, but they sound so poor.

**scaliwag** · 14th Feb 12, 15:35

Thanks wedge and allyc85 for the video's, I'm looking forward to this years le mans, I hope Toyota do well, they deserve it for innovation.

What do you guy's think of the delta-wing? is it real? do you think it will actually make it to the track or is it just a joke project?

Regards scaliwag

**FIAT1** · 14th Feb 12, 18:19

From the side looks like a mini van. I hope its fast.

**scaliwag** · 16th Feb 12, 16:53

Hi FIATI, which car are you discribing as a mini van, the toyota or the delta-wing?

Regards scaliwag

**FIAT1** · 16th Feb 12, 19:41

Toyota last picture makes car look weird. Can't wait for delta wing on track. Hope they will race at Road America this August.

**scaliwag** · 17th Feb 12, 18:08

So you've seen the delta-wing.

I'm wondering if it will make it to le man's, I have the sneaking feeling that the delta will never make it to the track.

I hope it does, but if it makes it,it will be interesting to see how it goes, I'm more inclined to think the Toyota has a much better chance to impress.

Regards scaliwag.

**FIAT1** · 18th Feb 12, 14:08

Delta wing car was at Chicago auto show in RA corner and created very much interest from people and as I understend they will be on track in two weeks time in Sebring. Will be interesting.Love new ideas.

**FIAT1** · 2nd Mar 12, 20:11

Delta wing had a first test on March 1 and was capable of turning left and right. This is going to be interesting.

**Tom206wrc** · 12th Apr 12, 17:00

Bad start for the TOYOTA !!! Forfait at Spa next month after a crash in tests this week(Lapierre crashed because of electronic problem)...no time for having the car ready in time for the belgian round of ILMC

An AUDI 1-2-3-4 to expect at Spa

PS: concerning the Delta Wing(I don't like its design at all)Nissan will be the official motorist...but I don't believe in the project at all, to me, an early retirement at Le Mans

But Toyota starts badly its Le Mans preparation too, though...

**harvick#1** · 12th Apr 12, 22:11

I wouldnt suspect a 1-4 finish for Audi, arent 2 of the cars the new hybrids? and plus. like sebring anything can happen, if Muscle Milk didnt have the fueling problem, Audi wouldn't have had a 1-2 finish

Do not confuse Sebring and LeMans, those Audi's are built specifically for the Le Mans 24 hours race/track, the rest is for them just a bonus.
