Toyota downplayed the significance of setting the fastest time with its #8 GR010 Hybrid during the 2025 Le Mans Test Day, acknowledging areas for improvement. The #8 Toyota topped the timesheets with Brendon Hartley setting a 3:26.246, yet the team remains cautious about the anecdotal result. Technical director David Floury stressed the focus on being at the forefront next Sunday, not today’s lap time, highlighting the need for further work before race week. With increased power and a more compressed field, the 2025 Le Mans could potentially be the fastest ever, setting the stage for a tight and competitive race among top teams like Ferrari, Cadillac, Porsche, Alpine, BMW, and Toyota. Despite the challenges faced during the Test Day sessions, Toyota remains committed to continuous improvement leading up to the race, recognizing the unpredictable weather forecasts adding to the preparation challenges.
