Toyota Gazoo Racing Wins Overall at the 24 Hours of Le Mans

In 2016, Toyota Gazoo Racing suffered a unfortunate breakdown on the final lap of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, while in the lead. Today, Toyota picked up an overall victory for their first time ever, and were the first Japanese team to win since Mazdaspeed did it in 1991 with the Mazda 787B.

Team drivers Sébastien Buemi (Switzerland), Kazuki Nakajima (Japan), & Fernando Alonso (Spain) ran 388 laps in the #8 Toyota TS050 Hybrid to take the victory over their sister car, the #7 Toyota TS050 Hybrid which ran 386 laps.

Formula One driver Fernando Alonso’s win puts him only one race away from being the second person in history to complete the Triple Crown of Motorsport.
