Toyota Gazoo Racing technical director, David Floury, didn’t hold back in his criticism of the FIA’s Balance of Performance (BoP) after a disappointing performance at the prestigious Le Mans 24 Hours. Without mincing words, Floury expressed his frustration at what he perceived as a “two-class race” dominated by Ferrari, leaving Toyota struggling in fifth and 15th places.

“We haven’t reached our goal. The goal coming here was to win, so it’s not reached,” Floury candidly stated, reflecting the team’s high expectations and ultimate letdown. Despite predicting Ferrari’s dominance, the reality of Toyota’s inability to compete at the same level was a bitter pill to swallow for the Japanese outfit.

The Frenchman highlighted the disparity in performance, lamenting, “We never really were in a position to fight.” Even a brief lead by the #8 car was short-lived, with technical issues and strategic challenges hampering Toyota’s chances of a podium finish. Floury didn’t shy away from criticizing the event’s dynamics, labeling it as a race divided between high-speed cars and those lacking in pace, a category in which Toyota found itself alongside Cadillac and Aston Martin.

Analyzing the race’s speed dynamics, Floury pointed out Toyota’s shortcomings at various sections of the circuit, emphasizing the team’s struggles to match the pace of its competitors. From the first lap incident to strategic tire choices, Toyota faced an uphill battle throughout the endurance race, culminating in a less-than-ideal outcome for the powerhouse team.

Despite the setbacks, Toyota’s #7 car managed to salvage a fifth-place finish post-race, showcasing resilience and determination in the face of fierce competition. However, Floury’s remarks underscored the team’s disappointment and the need to address performance issues to remain competitive in future races.

As Toyota reflects on its Le Mans experience, the team is undoubtedly gearing up to overcome challenges and reclaim its position as a frontrunner in the world of endurance racing. The road to redemption may be long, but with a powerhouse like Toyota Gazoo Racing at the helm, the pursuit of victory remains unwavering.
