How Toyota battled FASTER Ferrari Hypercars at IMOLA (WEC 2024)

Toyota has dominated the Hypercar class of WEC since 2017. However they find themselves in an unfamiliar situation with their GR010 at the 6 Hours of IMOLA. Both the Ferrari 499Ps and Porsche 963s look faster. So Toyota will have to rely on their years of experience to overtake the faster hypercars and claim victory once again.

The WEC commentators said it the best: Toyota and #7 was so consistent, did everything right, and they are rewarded with the win

Yessss babyyyyyy new Grooved Slick video!!!! Jokes aside fantastic content once again. These onboards are very cool to see and we don't see them that much in the normal coverage in the race, only replays. You can really see how much they struggle with the tires when they're cold. It must take you hours and hours to look through every onboard and commentate with so much passion so thank you for doing it with every endurance race. This weekend is 6 hours of Spa, I'll be trackside and cannot wait to see all these cars driving around the legendary circuit :) Also the battle at the end of the video between the Ferraris was so scary to watch hahahaha, 1 mistake from either driver and they would score no points. Thanks for including it!

Like you said at the end, you're telling a narrative and that makes it infinitely more engaging than some half assed montage from the WEC channel. Keep it up, man!

Another important thing to mention is that Kobayashi demonstrated a masterclass at fuel saving as well. In the last 7-10 minutes of the race Ferrari told their drivers they still believed Toyota would have to pit for fuel, but Kobayashi made it work. Imola was an absolute pleasure to watch.

I was here in Imola, first race in my life and I took mi reflex with me for taking some photos. I’m Italian and obviously i’m a Ferrari fan but also a cadillac fan. All the Ferrari fans goes angry for the strategies, but we appreciated the Toyota’s performance. I really love this Championship, also your videos 😎

I think you should have included a bit of Fuoco's final stint because he was absolutely flying, and if Ferrari made the right strategy call he would had just been pulling out the gap to Toyota so much.

This race to me personally leaves me with a few conclusions 1-Toyota was the team that best adapted to the drizzle and devised a strategy that allowed them to win the race, but it doesn't mean that they were the fastest car in the dry, clearly they are still a step behind Porsche and Ferrari both in one lap in qualifying and in race pace. 2- In hypercar for me the big surprise of the race which before the race I did not expect to be where they came to be almost fighting for a poduim and finish sixth bmw if I expected to improve but not something so great.sincerely I have been surprised for good

@maxb4085 Ай бұрын

Porsche and Toyota were basically equal, Toyota were slightly faster on the straights mainly had better exit speed. While the Porsche was better through the corners. You could see at the end, Estre could stay with Kamui but just didn't have the speed to overtake because Kamui would just get those extra few metres off the exit of the final corner and then stayed clean the rest of the lap to stay ahead and win.

@defens19 Ай бұрын

Idk what to think of de Vries having such success. It kinde shows to me that the best racing series is F1 by such a longshot. If the Worst driver in F1 is winning in WEC just shows how good F1 is, or how mid WEC is. Still a fantastic drive and it was a Fun Race. I think WEC will never really loose that feeling because so many ex F1 drivers are world class drivers in WEC. And Thank u für the Content, this is such a good channel for getting analysies about WEC!! Keep up the good work

@ieurobeatkids9378 Ай бұрын

Oh my god! A driver in a bop'd series where the car matters less, and is with a top team, is doing better than when he was in the slowest car?? I couldn't imagine that!! This is the same shit people say about Grosjean and Ericcson doing somewhat well in Indycar. When the car matters less, driver skill matters more. It also wasn't just Devries who got the success. It was a combination of everyone on the team, drivers and crew, doing an amazing job. As well as some lucky weather and great strategy. Devries is also an F2 and FE champion. He's not the greatest driver in the world, but his whole situation at AlphaTauri was just unfortunate. Partially on him, but he was also not given much time to improve. F1 just isn't a good show of driver skill.

@lessisbetter-vy2em Ай бұрын

I gotta say hats off to Toyota Inc for producing incredible cars for massive alike, finding great drivers like Mr k. Kobayashi Conway and D. Vries, Vanthoor and Estre, legend Porsche GT3 driver and Ferrari drivers, many exciting talents at once. All of them are fast, but Ferrari always faster it was destined. Incrediblely exciting times spent. This is very very fast. If only I could sell for Toyota, hahahaha. Impressive Toyota team all involved. Thank you, you continue to inspire us these possibilities.

0:02 cant dominate when you are rhe only car in the class "Battled" they got lucky. Lets be honest, toyota should never lose a race in hypercar cause they had a 3 year head start. The cars are slow, they didnt "battle" anything
