In just one week the covers will be taken off the new Toyota TS040 Hybrid, the Japanese team's challenger for the 2014 FIA World Endurance Championship. The excitement is mounting to see the last of the three LMP1-H competitors in the flesh, with Audi and Porsche having already revealed their cars in recent weeks.
The launch is due to take place at Circuit Paul Ricard in France just ahead of The Prologue, the official pre-season tests for the WEC, and all of Toyota Racing's drivers and team principals will be present. As previously announced, the No.7 will be driven by Alex Wurz, Stéphane Sarrazin and Kazuki Nakajima, and the No.8 will be in the hands of Anthony Davidson, Nicolas Lapierre and Sébastien Buemi.
Toyota Racing released a teaser about their new LMP1 in the form of a sound recording of the TS040 Hybrid's new V8 petrol engine at full throttle. You can enjoy that by clicking HERE.
