WEC - 6 Hours of Silverstone, TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Statement

The #8 #ts050hybrid of Sébastien Buemi, #kazukinakajima and #fernandoalonso crossed the line to win the third round of the FIA World #endurance Championship from Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi and José María López in the second-placed #7 #ts050hybrid.

Both cars suffered damage to their respective front floor areas during the race due to impacts against the new kerbs at Silverstone. Regrettably, this also caused both cars to fail deflection tests in post-race scrutineering. As a result, race stewards disqualified both cars.

The design and construction of the part concerned has not changed since its introduction at the beginning of the 2017 season. Since then it has successfully passed similar tests, most recently at Spa this season.

The team is now evaluating its next course of action.
