Currently P74 qualifying speed.
Looks great projected to a big screen tv. Interesting that the Gazoo LC and 86 both qualified better than Supra and privateer RC F's qualied best of all Toyota/Lexus cars.

Maybe this explains the slow times...

Still, it's pretty cool that the president of the company is such an enthusiast.

It wasn't actually clear in The Drive article who was in the car during quali--but I kind of liked the image of Akio Toyoda at the wheel. Besides, in a 24 hr race maybe starting position doesn't matter all that much.

My internet is super slow at the best of times, and this morning it is not the best of times. I've got a pretty choppy feed and lots of pixelation. But it looks like TOYOTA are running an "A90" with a "T" on top, followed by a 2000GT with an "O", an A80 with "Y", another 2000GT with "O", followed by two more A90's with "T" and "A" going around the track? Kind of cool. Wish my internet was better! Hopefully it improves by race time.


Edit: by running I don't mean racing...just lapping around the track...

Probably just a promotional thing. In the actual race there is the one Supra which sports the number 90 in the sp8 class. Then there are around 6 or so 86s in SP3, some Lexus GT3 or GT4 cars and a couple other Lexus/Toyota branded cars like a CHR but it did not start due to a qualifying session crash.


Also there are only 3 cars in the sp8 class and the Supra is designated sp8T. I am not sure what the T designation signifies. I have seen the Supra on track a few times as the race leaders lap it.

Yeah, no doubt on that, I didn't mean to imply that they were going to be in the actual race, just something I thought was pretty neat. They were all just red street cars with the letters on the roof.

Unfortunately the actual race coverage hasn't made much mention of any of the Gazoo teams or other Toyotas, or shown them much at all. Haven't even heard them mention Akio Toyoda - or "Mr. Morizo"

But, here's some crappy screenshots (I wasn't kidding about slow internet) from the earlier TOYOTA formation.

Supra up to 2nd place in its class and 60th overall as the SP8T class leader gets taken out in an accident. Aston Martin GT4 leads Supra. SP8T class appears to be all GT4 cars with Aston Martin Vantage, BMW, 335i, M4 and M2 and Mercedes AMG. The Mercedes was the car who was involved in an accident while leading.

BMWs have been dropping like flies through accidents and failure but then it seems half the cars in the race are BMWs. Hopefully, the Supra will demonstrate Toyota reliability.

T for Turbo.
