Sebastien Buemi has detailed the reasons that made the difference in the 2026 Le Mans 24 Hours, as the #7 Toyota prevailed while the sister #8 car finished a close third. The TR010 Hybrids started from just 14th and 15th on the grid, as Toyota “didn’t focus on qualifying at all”, but they certainly made up for it with an offset strategy early on.
