ANF Posted 3September, 2018 Report Share Posted 3September, 2018 I know there is little, if any interest in LMP1 now that Porsche quit, but at the Silverstone race both Toyota's were excluded post race for non-conformity!! So Toyota saw the need to bend the rules when there was no other opposition... hmmm.... Part of the Toyota statement.... "All our drivers drove our cars with their full power and the fight for victory was truly exciting for the fans so I truly feel disappointed to lose the result." Umm, why , who were they racing??!! LMP1 = joke now!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 3September, 2018 Report Share Posted 3September, 2018 So they're the only LMP1 cars in the race racing against themselves and they get disqualified? It's like a boxer shadow boxing and getting disqualified for hitting himself in the plums too many times! ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Either you give up a race or we will take back some of the performance advantage". No Toyota's fault everyone else left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANF Posted 4September, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 4September, 2018 Last year Porsche and Toyota were 13 laps up, this year Toyota only 3 laps up! Toyota did same number of laps and same lap times, privateer teams all quicker, either Toyota saw fit not to change the car or drive well within itself, which ever, the class is dying a slow (or maybe speedy) death....
