Toyota reckons customer teams could handle running LMH machinery in FIAWEC, despite increased complexity over the LMDh cars ⬇️
The World Endurance Championship will allow the new breed of LMDh cars to compete against LMH machinery in the Hypercar class from 2023 as part of a convergence process with the IMSA SportsCar Championship.
