    For what it's worth, updates!

    The TS050 finished third and fourth at Nürburgring - #7 had aerodynamic damage, #8 had a fuel pump issue that almost prevented it from taking the start.

    And, the apr Prius team got their first podium of the season at Fuji, finally, with #31 getting third in class. (#30 got 20th in class.) They've not been having a great season, but...

    No point staying racing itself, may as well leave. Well, if they stay on, it may be the only possible way to win LM24, albeit a hollow victory.

    SM-G900I ?

    They're all going to Formula E, so this will be the chance for Toyota to make EVs. :p

    One possibility for Toyota to contribute is that to have the hybrid tech standardised and sub lease to other racers interested in the lmp1-h category. But this still means Toyota as a manufacturer will bout out.
