Conway highlights room for improvement in Toyota’s tire heating capabilities.

Toyota GAZOO Racing, a Japanese-German manufacturer, is looking to improve tire warming in the FIA World Endurance Championship, according to team member Mike Conway. Conway acknowledged that other teams, such as Porsche Penske and Ferrari, have found a method to quickly activate their tires, something Toyota has not fully mastered yet. He expressed the team’s determination to improve in this area. During the qualifying session of the 6 Hours of Imola, Kamui Kobayashi secured sixth position for the Toyota GR010 Hybrid #7, while Brendon Hartley achieved the eighth best time in the Toyota #8. Conway also mentioned that the WEC tire regulations play a role in this issue. With limited tire options, teams are required to make a single choice, making tire warming crucial. Despite this challenge, Toyota remains committed to finding a solution.
