Toyota Considers Challenging Diesel Dominance At LeMans

Toyota has been testing an all-new LMP1 car since last year, and could return to the Le Mans 24 Hours as early as 2012, according to this week's AUTOSPORT magazine.

The Japanese manufacturer commissioned the machine, which is known to incorporate hybrid technology and comply with the 2011 prototype technical regulations, from racing car constructor Dome.

The Toyota GT-ONE from 1999 was easily the best looking closed cockpit prototype. It still looks futuristic today!

That would be an improvement. They need to start concentrating on more important things than that bullshit NASCAR programme they keep flogging. They need to add FIA WRC to their list of concerns as well and get back in that game too.
