see that they are really, really strong. But let’s say on tire management, for example, they are a step ahead of everybody else.“When it comes to tire change, they are really, really soft and even on the long runs, the degradation is really low. They are doing an amazing job in that domain.”Overall, Toyota’s dominance in the 2023 WEC season showcased their strength as a team and their ability to consistently perform at a high level. Critics who doubted their success were proven wrong, as they won the majority of races and secured both the drivers’ and manufacturers’ titles. The team’s strong operation, structure, and personnel from their time in LMP1 and Formula 1 have been key factors in their continued success. Additionally, the Toyota GR010 Hybrid’s performance, especially in tire management, has set them apart from their competitors. The other Hypercar manufacturers, such as Ferrari and Porsche, acknowledge the challenge of catching up to Toyota’s level and are focused on improving their own performance to bridge the gap.
