Toyota GAZOO Racing Takes Texas Podium

Toyota GAZOO #racing finished on the podium in the 6 Hours of Circuit of the Americas after a race-long challenge for victory in the sixth round of the 2017 FIA World #endurance Championship (WEC).

The TS050 Hybrids recovered from a disappointing qualifying session to perform strongly, with the #8 of Sébastien Buemi, Stéphane Sarrazin and Kazuki Nakajima finishing third, 21.680secs behind the winning #porsche #2 after 1,058km of #racing.

Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi and José María López in the #7 #ts050hybrid played their part in an exciting race on their way to fourth place as the Toyotas finished in the same order as they started.

When the race began under the midday sun, both cars took the fight to #porsche and at the end of the first lap Sébastien passed the #2 for second, with Mike taking third a few moments later.
