I'm not sure if we will ever know the real answer to this, but it would be interesting to know how long these three driver's contracts are. The PR said it is undisclosed and I'm not sure if that information will ever go public. It would be interesting to know the length (especially for Wurz and Lapierre) because that might indicate Toyota's commitment to Le Mans racing. Toyota and Oreca keep saying only 2012 is confirmed for now, but I'm sure most of us believe that they will keep racing beyond just next year. Who knows exactly how long they planned commitment is though. Of course, perhaps Toyota has other plans for these guys besides just Le Mans racing. Who knows.
It's hard to say whether Wurz still has top pace or not, but he is a good development driver and Toyota may be interested in those talents at the moment. Plus, he also knows Peugeot and Joest pretty well having won at Le Mans for both of them so maybe there are some secrets that can be revealed. But, yeah, I think this announcement is almost more interesting in the sense of what it means for Peugeot rather than what it means for Toyota.
