Toyota has dismissed suggestions that it lacked 'strong competition' in its WEC title battle this year. 'I struggle to hear this because the BoP is there.'
Alpine was Toyota's only real rival in the championship fight this year, with Glickenhaus missing the final two rounds of the season and Peugeot not joining the championship until Monza in July.
Asked if the process of performance balancing between LMP1 and LMH cars reached its desired goal, Toyota's technical director Pascal Vasselon said:"Yes, because the beauty of the BoP is that it brings everyone on the same level of competitiveness. "The performance was given by the BoP. We have had competitors all season long, until the last race. Definitely, the season has been competitive."Photo by: JEP /Vasselon also felt Peugeot was able to mix with the two Toyota cars in Bahrain, despite the technical problems that forced the #93 9X8 car to retire and cost the sister #94 car six laps to the leaders.
This was the last season an LMP1 car would be allowed to compete in the WEC, with all entrants in the Hypercar class from next year required to build new LMH or LMDh cars, with performance to be equalised under a separate convergence system.
