Toyota Gazoo Racing TS050 Hybrid | The Instinct To Compete
The TS050 Hybrid carries Toyota Gazoo Racing’s hopes into the 2016 World Endurance Championship (WEC).It features a 2.4 litre, twin-turbo, direct injection V6 petrol engine combined with an 8MJ hybrid system.Like Toyota road cars, the front and rear motor-generators recover energy under braking, storing it in a high-powered lithium-ion battery and releasing it as boost for maximum efficiency. TOYOTA Racing started the World Endurance Championship season with a podium finish in a hotly-contested Six Hours of Silverstone.The #1 TS040 HYBRID of Anthony Davidson, Sébastien Buemi and Kazuki Nakajima duelled for the win throughout and eventually finished third, 14.816secs behind the winning Audi after six hours of hard racing.There was a similarly battling performance from the #2 car of Alex Wurz, Stéphane Sarrazin and Mike Conway, who finished fourth to complete a satisfying points haul for the team.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/
