Wurz: Toyota's ace in the hole
Alex Wurz had already left Peugeot before its shock withdrawal from the sportscar scene, electing instead to lead Toyota's ambitious HYBRID TS030 programme. As Adam Cooper explains, it might just prove the perfect match
Peugeot's withdrawal from sports car racing has been a massive blow for Le Mans and the FIA World Endurance Championship, but the good news is that Toyota has arrived to give Audi some competition, even if this year is one of learning.
