How WEC rules will guarantee Toyota defeats
Toyota may have gone unchallenged in the World Endurance Championship superseason, but new rules that will come into play after this weekend's 2019/20 Silverstone opener will reduce its might in the new campaign
Toyota isn't going to win every round of the World Endurance Championship in 2019/20.
That's the Japanese manufacturer's own prediction in the run-up to the start of the new season at the Silverstone 4 Hours this weekend. A new system of success handicaps - a novel and more scientific take on the idea of success ballast - will ensure that.
The claim was made before the TS050 HYBRIDs were given another hike in minimum weight this week. The extra 14kg is going to make life for the Toyota drivers that much tougher this weekend, so this latest rules tweak under the Equivalence of Technology only reinforces the argument put forward by Toyota Motorsport GmbH technical director Pascal Vasselon.
