TOKYO, Apr 28, 2022 – (JCN Newswire) – TOYOTA GAZOO Racing aims to get back to winning ways when it makes the short journey to Belgium next week for the second round of the 2022 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC), the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps.


ورلڈ چیمپئنز نے گزشتہ ماہ سیبرنگ میں سیزن کا ایک مشکل آغاز برداشت کیا، #8 کار کے لیے دوسرے نمبر کے ساتھ، جسے سیبسٹین بوئمی، برینڈن ہارٹلی اور ریو ہیراکاوا نے چلایا، جس سے GR010 HYBRID Hypercar کے لیے جیت کا ایک ناقابل شکست سلسلہ ختم ہوا۔

That was the only GR010 HYBRID to reach the chequered flag following a heavy accident for the #7 car of Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi and Jose Maria Lopez. The reigning drivers' World Champions will have a completely new car for the Spa race.

TOYOTA GAZOO Racing therefore travels 120km from the team's Cologne headquarters to the legendary Spa-Francorchamps circuit determined to deliver an improved result in the final race before the highlight of the WEC season, the Le Mans 24 Hours.

WEC میں TOYOTA GAZOO ریسنگ کی گھریلو ریسوں میں سے ایک ہونے کے ساتھ ساتھ سپا ٹیم کے لیے ایک خوشگوار شکار کا میدان بھی ہے۔ 2013 میں اپنی پہلی WEC ریس کے بعد سے، ٹیم چھ بار جیت چکی ہے اور اس ہفتے کے آخر میں بیلجیئم میں لگاتار چھٹی فتح حاصل کرنے کا ہدف رکھتی ہے۔

سیبرنگ میں ایک متاثر کن ڈیبیو ریس کے بعد، اس سرکٹ کے اپنے پہلے دورے پر، ریو ایک ایسے ٹریک پر واپس آیا جس پر وہ پہلے ہی کامیابی کا مزہ چکھ چکا ہے۔ اپنے یورپی لی مینس سیریز کے کیریئر کے دوران، ریو نے 2016 میں سپا میں تیسری اور ایک سال بعد دوسری پوزیشن حاصل کی۔

WEC سپا میں ریس کی پہلی بڑی سیریز ہو گی کیونکہ 7.004km سرکٹ کے حصوں میں حفاظت کو بڑھانے کے لیے ترمیم کی گئی تھی۔ سب سے نمایاں تبدیلیوں میں سے ایک خوفناک Eau Rouge اور Raidillon کے امتزاج میں آتی ہے، جو دوبارہ سامنے آ گئی ہے اور اب اس میں بڑے رن آف ایریاز شامل ہیں۔

The drivers will experience the updated circuit for the first time on Thursday, with a 90-minute practice session in the late afternoon. A busy Friday sees two further practice sessions prior to an evening qualifying, which decides the grid for Saturday's race, beginning at 1pm local time.

کاموئی کوبیاشی (ٹیم پرنسپل اور ڈرائیور، کار #7):

"Since Sebring, which was a disappointing result for us, the whole team has pushed hard to improve by working together with the drivers, particularly at our test in Portimao earlier this month. It went well, despite the wet weather at the start, and we did a lot of laps in the endurance test, which is an important part of our Le Mans preparation. We worked on some things for Spa as well, which should suit our car better than Sebring, where the bumps had a big impact on car balance and performance. So we expect to be fighting at the front and everyone is fully committed to get our first win of the season. We have waited since Le Mans last year to meet our fans in Europe again so it will be a special week. The fans in Spa are always very enthusiastic and give us a lot of support; thank you in advance for cheering us on," Mike Conway (Driver, car #7):

"Spa is a fantastic circuit and one of my favourites, so it's always exciting to go there. Compared to a year ago, when we were racing the GR010 HYBRID for the first time, we have learned a lot about our car so we are in a better position in terms of our understanding. But the balance of performance has changed since then, so we are not entirely sure where will be next week. We will work hard to get the maximum out of our package and hopefully that's enough to be at the front."

جوز ماریا لوپیز (ڈرائیور، کار #7):

"Sebring was a really disappointing result and I am still frustrated by what happened, so I am determined to make it up to Mike, Kamui and the whole team with a strong race in Spa. This is always an important race because it is the last one before Le Mans so we have to get all our preparation right and put ourselves in the best place for the big race. I hope we will be more competitive than we were in Sebring and be in a position to fight for the win."

Sebastien Buemi (ڈرائیور، کار #8):

"I always enjoy going to Spa as it is probably my favourite circuit. It's a pleasure to drive a race car at this track, and I have been fortunate enough to have won five times at Spa so it's a good track for me in that respect too. Our podium in Sebring wasn't a bad way to start the season but the gap to the front was too big. I hope the balance of performance will be kinder to us in Spa, which is more like a typical WEC circuit and I hope it will suit our GR010 HYBRID better."

برینڈن ہارٹلی (ڈرائیور، کار #8):

"It's always exciting to race at Spa so I can't wait to be back there with our GR010 HYBRID. We made a solid start to the season on the #8 car with a podium in Sebring but we're looking to be closer to the front next week. It's been a few weeks since the start of the season and we've used that time productively to get ready for Spa, with a test at Portimao and plenty of work back at the factory. So we're ready; now we just need to see what the famous Spa weather has in store for us."

ریو ہیراکاوا (ڈرائیور، کار #8):

"I am looking forward to racing again at Spa, which is a fantastic circuit. Sebring went well for me and it was satisfying to start my WEC career with a podium. Sebring was a new track for me so there was a lot to learn. But I know Spa pretty well so that should be an advantage compared to the last race, and I had some positive results there in the past which gives me confidence. It will be exciting to drive the GR010 HYBRID there for the first time; I cannot wait to get started."
