I would be dropping Kamui, how can you really lead the team and drive, there are plenty of other drivers more then good enough, I would love to see Barni in there, sadly he is a giant!! SO probably not in that car!!

As to tyre deg they don't insist too much about the difference between day and night. Imo it's a really important factor.

Makes me wonder if Jota can repeat the standout performance they had last year. In 2023 their 963 was flying, da Costa was catching the 7 rapidly and if not for multiple mistakes he made, that would've been a podium with a healthy buffer on the chasing Ferraris. Last privateer race for them, fingers crossed.

Yes they are definitely on the backfoot after locking out the front row.

He qualified Qatar because he has experience at the track and the nature of the warmup process was similar to the way F1's tires work, which he has experience with as well. Kamui couldn't keep the tires in a good window for a qualifying lap while DeVries could. I think Ritomo Miyata is next up on Toyota's Japanese driver list but Kamui is still fastest on most occasions imo.

They already have Hirokawa, a few of their drivers are pushing it age wise, but still very good, a very good insight into how well Toyota keeps them up to speed, and they seem less interested in going two drivers.

For me Hartley has made a lot of mistakes this year, Buemi has his hothead moments but seems to be the quicker, de Vries has been superb, Conway, a steady peddler who always gets the rough stints!! Kamui also hothead moments and balancing the jobs he does. This is hyper critical, and would you want to lose all of it to start again, probably not, as really they have been the quickest team most of the time, with a lot of bad luck

P1 for the 7, no points for the 6 to grab the championship. Looking how bad Penske are, this is possible.

Yea, I also think it's a risky transition but no team would throw away a factory opportunity.

The Caddy is stronger in IMSA, and Jota are good and will run a full factory effort. It has more potential with Jota I imagine.

I don't think so at all. Remains to be seen how much development will be put in, but I think they will be an absolute menace to the rest of the field.

I know it had a nose change but what's up with the 50 in this stint?

Also I have to assume the #6 is hobbled somehow. It can't be this slow surely...

I cant see it, look at the factory car. Its midfield at best most races; Even the Peugeot is fighting with it. THE PEUGEOT FOR CHRIST SAKE. The Bykolles of the field.

So far it's much closer than I thought it'll be. But the 5 storming back through the field like they were all Vanwalls is a bit concerning.
