Toyota driver Mike Conway has conceded his and team-mates Kamui Kobayashi and Jose Maria Lopez’s chances of winning the World Endurance Championship after their Le Mans 24 Hours retirement.The non-score at Le Mans for #7, which resulted from Kobayashi being hit by two cars as he reduced speed for an 80km/h Slow Zone, followed a. That restricted them to ninth position and only two points.
“After what happened at Le Mans, the world championship seems out of reach this season for our car unfortunately. But to try to get second or third is something we can aim for.” Conway, Kobayashi and Lopez are the only Hypercar line-up to have won twice this year, at Sebring and then Spa, but because double points are on offer at Le Mans their championship chances have effectively been torpedoed.
The fact that a repeat of the 2019/20 and 2021 titles for Conway, Kobayashi and Lopez is now effectively out of reach “only simplifies the task for the remaining three races”, added the Briton.
