- Toyota has been the FIA WEC's most dominant team with its GR010 hypercar. But they were dealt a severe blow at the Le Mans 24. Lets see if they can bounce back at the 6 hours of Fuji and show why they deserve to be hypercar world champions.

everyone was doubting toyotas capabilities since the le mans loss,but they proved they are still one of the bests if not the best in the hypercar class
Not even Ferrari fan where doubting T capabilities,but can you agree tha Ferrari BOP has been so bad after LM?
@@fqeagles21 just like it was bad for Toyota in the Le Mans.
@@mineralwater6736 in Lemans Ferrari and Toyota (slightly more on Toyota) had the worst BOP of all the Hypercars
@@fqeagles21 I think that bop was fair to toyota in le mans and it is fair to ferrari post le mans regarding that they got nerfed a bit. It was expectible that this year would be a lot of "figuring things out" since you have so many different ideas in one class, every car has a difference from another giving them advantages and disatvantages and I think thats where bop kicks in to make the field more competetive which isnt bad this year but of course it has ways to improve
@@fqeagles21 bop was changed on le mans week, despite previous agreement of it not happeneing. that bop change had 1 objective which was to nerf toyota, which was the best for ferrari as they were the 2nd best behind toyota. bop was heavily in ferraris favour. in fact noone is even close to toyota on merit, they have years of advantage afterall
Love watching your vids, i think you found a really nice niche for Motorsport content and you always create interesting stories of the race. Keep it up!
Thank you!
Yes! I couldn't agree more, you really have got something here! I have loved and followed F1, Rally car, and endurance racing of all classes for many years and your narrating style will take you as far as you want it to... Just keep at it and follow your instincts...
On the surface it looks like Toyota completely dominates WEC, but when you dive deeper, they actually have to really fight for those wins.
That's why I don't actually have a huge problem with Toyota's dominance, they always have to fight for it.
@@Xiphactinustheir fight is just get out of the trouble, they know they have more pace, its was a real fight if they have less pace than now
Dude great job with this race summary. Your channel is the perfect way to watch these things for those of us that cant watch the actual broadcasts (or dont want to)
Thank you, glad you are enjoying!
This was an incredible race and great to see this race in person at Fuji😊
I am jealous, looked like a fantastic experience!
these analytical videos are amazing, keep it up
Thats ver kind, glad you enjoyed!
I just recently watched the Gran Turismo movie and was shocked to learn a team of video game racers podiumed in LMP2 at the 2013 Le Mans. I was also surprised that I had never heard of that until after I watched the movie! I think it'd be awesome if you could do a breakdown video of that race some time.
That was a crazy story, really wish there were more opportunities like it for sim racers.
@@GroovedSlick true. I like following Super GT and Jimmy Broadbent's irl racing adventures tho. Crazy that they're gonna get to participate in the 24hr Nurburgring next year.
Totally agree. I love watching their content and tuned into their live stream last weekend to watch. Super impressive what they are doing, racing at the nurburgring in a lower class car looks to be about the hardest thing you could do as a driver.@@wontonii232
Man great video and storytelling. Made me a new subscriber. Looking forward to the upcoming videos on the season!
Much appreciated, thank you!
Dude your reviews are better than the official WEC content! Great reviews, thanks bud
Thats very kind, glad you enjoyed!
Once more, you've done a great job on the commentary and covering the entire race as a story. Really enjoy your content mate, keep it coming.
Thanks man, really appreciate it
Thanks for putting this together. I was there on Sunday (and Saturday), so it was interesting to see all of the in-car footage and to hear your take on the action. 👍
Thats amazing, Fuji looks like an incredible track with great fans, must have been a great time!
I live here, so am lucky enough to get an annual fix of WEC at Fuji, though this year was a must-see with all of the hypercars. Of course, Toyota is the big fan-favourite here but Ferrari, Porsche and Peugeot also have lots of support from the locals. I was particularly surprised by the pace of the 963s and the #99 Proton Porsche was really unlucky not to have finished higher.
First time watching your content. This is exactly the type of race recap I've always wanted to watch. Thanks!
Toyota is having none of this B.S. after Le Mans, glad they really showed up the other teams and the FIA that they are still the boss of the Hypercar class.
Excellent content, thanks for the time and effort with this one and with each video it's much appreciated.
Thank you!
Nice job explaining exactly when different car's tires are affecting their strategy.
It makes it a little more real watching it when you understand why cars perform a certain way depending on race time.
Was an intense race 😅 Good video!
yes! a new upload!
Love watching this series of videos! Thank you!
I'm happy to hear it, glad you're enjoying!
Great video, nice race, thank you very much 👍
Moooom grooved slick just uploaded, don’t bother me for the next 21 minutes and 48 seconds
😂😂
Maybe my knowledge is wrong, but the Toyota and Ferrari are also only 4WD after a certain speed limit, and before that they are also effectively RWD, no? Especially with the Ferrari you can hear the hybrid kick in at like 200 kph or so.
Great commentary btw, I really enjoyed this.
Also do you think we'll see the rest of the manufacturers win any time soon? I especially want to see that Caddy on the top.
Porsche looks like they are starting to figure the 963 out. I think it will be tough for caddy until they get a second car in wec. One bullet in the gun is so challenging in these longer races.
Next season will be a whole new game in hypercar. I doubt we will see this level of domination continue
TOYOTA 🏁❤️👍
I just want acura in WEC because their so fast but i know it will never happend. 😢😢😢
Hopefully in '25 with Andretti! Those Acuras are so fast
@@GroovedSlick My guess is thier will be fighting for the championship or at lest some wins.
@@gama888_6i don't see them beating Toyota Ferrari and Porsche let alone cadillac
@1:46 racing is racing, but that Porsche had no hope in hell of making that corner, forcing the Toyota wide..
And a full redemption for Kobayashi after what happened at Le Mans.
this was incredible.
great commentary
Thank you!
if only the number 5 porsche didnt get the early puncture and was up there. then porsche would actually have a chance of winning. the number 5 can hold up the toyotas as long as possible while the number 6 makes a dash for it. the 963 had good pace at fuji, they could've made something more of that pace
Isnt a grand slam pole fastest lap win and lead every lap? Very nice video tho love the stories you tell from the teams perspective
It could be, either way, a big accomplishment
Let's be honest here: Ferrari has done an absolute miracle so far. Despite Toyota having a 5 year advantage in development, Ferrari has managed to win the Le Mans race, earn some pole positions and enstablish themselves as the 2nd best team straight away. And don't even mention BoP because both Toyota and Ferrari were damaged by it. At Le Mans Toyota had about a 30 seconds disadvantage over Ferrari because of it...but Ferrari won the race by about a minute
Nah bro. Look at the replay how the toyota drivers had to fight for their lives and the Ferrari drivers were just chilling
@@JulienRickotoyota driver made a msitake in the last hour, the japanese driver
@@flyingberserker3965 yes Hirakawa made a mistake, but they wouldn't have won anyway, the Ferrari was just not risking anything afterwards so they catched up a bit
Toyota do Hypercar brilliantly and all credit to them. Well done 👍. Now, please can we have some interesting road cars? Yes I know there's the GR Yaris and the GT86, but the rest?? 😢
A very good video once again. When i saw the race I knew you would make a video about this. Toyota having to fight for a win and having real competition. If anything went wrong mechanically or maybe a spin the Porsche would've won.
You can also make a video about the LMP2 race, even though they are all the same car the battling was insane the last 15 min were really intense to watch.
LMP2 was awesome!
what?? both LMH and LMDH had 4 wd no rear wd on the porsche. both had to use the front WD over 190 km /hour
Great video and great content! The race summary from the perspective of a single car/team is awesome.
I don't think the Toyota have a tyre wear and traction advantage from being 4 wheel drive. At least not anymore. Since the Hybrid is only activated at over 150kph or something like that.
Glad you enjoyed!
Yeah, its really tough to know without data from the teams. I would say though, even in a straight line you can put a lot of heat in your tires so maybe not tire wear from big slides coming out of the corners, but even a little bit of additional heating on the straights might make a difference over 2 hours. But also maybe not haha
Do you do any watch alongs for the races?
I haven't before, but I'm considering something for petit le mans
I hope Toyota win Le Mans next year 👍
they already got back at ferrari winning at monza so that wasn't enough?!
4:10 tf was molina doin here...
*shouts in Alonso* ALL THE TIME YOU HAVE TO LEAVE THE SPACE!
Aaaaand... No penalty for that -_-'
Just Ferrari doing their things
Toyota did not get any revenge. You don't do justice to Toyota's mentality.
The only thing that saddened Toyota was the #7 DNF
FIA ACO gave BOP advantage to Ferrari in order to raise the difficulty in Toyota's race.
In Le Mans #7 Toyota did quit due to getting hit by #66 Ferrari GTE and #35 Alpine LMP2.
If #7 didn't quit Toyota would had won Le Mans.
Toyota did mistakes with #8 Toyota. #8 hit a squirrel and it was damaged. They couldn't find out the origin of poor performance until it was too late. Aerodynamic performance was hampered due to damage. One problem brought another.Brakes and tyres suffered from overheating.
When Hirakawa took the wheel, team ordered him to risk everything.
Hirakawa must be praised, as he managed not only to finish the race, but he did it without losing second position!
Weird way calling it Toyota's revenge. If there is such thing they already done it in Monza. I'm guessing the next race in Bahrain will be Toyota's revenge as well.
Every race until there's a fair BoP lmfao
