Of the four manufacturers competing for victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans next June, only Toyota will field two cars instead of three.<\/p>\n

The former F1 driver, Anthony Davidson, current World Champion in WEC, assures that the Japanese team’s approach makes sense because there would be no point in adding an extra car to the grid: \u00ab You might be able to put three cars, but none of them would have the necessary level to win due to the cost implications. You add the operation of an additional car – the cost of engines, super-capacitors, personnel, logistics, and manufacturing – and you would need two or three additional chassis, not just one, \u00bb he explains to our American colleagues at Motorsport.com<\/i>.<\/p>\n

The British driver continues his reasoning: \u00ab Maybe we would have won last year with an additional car, but it’s hypothetical, as there would have been no guarantee that we would be fast enough to fight for victory, even with three cars. \u00bb<\/p>\n

Davidson added that winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans is less pressure after winning the WEC championship alongside his teammate S\u00e9bastien Buemi: \u00ab I’m beyond trying to win this race, because I’ve realized that even if you try your hardest, sometimes things just don’t go your way. This year, I’m going to approach it like any other race. As much as I would like to win it, putting extra pressure on myself is pointless because it’s a fickle race. \u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
