Toyota GAZOO Racing | FIA World Endurance Championship 6 Hours of Bahrain
TOYOTA GAZOO Racing experienced a disappointing end to the 2016 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) season in the 6 Hours of Bahrain.The #5 TS050 HYBRID of Anthony Davidson, Sébastien Buemi and Kazuki Nakajima was the lead TOYOTA in fourth, just the third time this year that the team has missed out on the podium.Stéphane Sarrazin, Mike Conway and Kamui Kobayashi in the #6 car began the race with an outside chance of the drivers’ World Championship, but fifth place was not enough to overhaul the Porsche #2 crew of Romain Dumas, Neel Jani and Marc Lieb.The #6 crew finished the season a creditable third in the drivers’ standings, 15 points behind the champions, with their #5 counterparts 8th following a series of misfortunes this year.TOYOTA’s finally tally from the nine-race season stands at one win, seven podium finishes and 229 points with the TS050 HYBRID, earning third position in the manufacturers’ World Championship.Today’s race represented Audi’s final appearance in the championship. The team marked the occasion by displaying messages on both TS050 HYBRIDs and presenting a commemorative banner to the Head of Audi Motorsport, Dr Wolfgang Ullrich.Toyota Gazoo Racing website: http://www.toyotahybridracing.com/Toyota Gazoo Racing on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/Toyota_Hybrid/Toyota Europe website: http://www.toyota-europe.com/Toyota Europe Newsroom: http://newsroom.toyota.eu/Toyota Europe Blog: http://blog.toyota.eu/Toyota Europe on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/toyota_europe/
