Toyota on Le Mans pole
Print Edition
KAZUKI Nakajima’s Toyota No. 7 took pole position at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, giving the Japanese manufacturer a head start in its bid for a first win in the famed endurance race.
Nakajima became the first Japanese driver to set the fastest time in qualifying at Le Mans, clocking 3 minutes, 21.789 seconds on Thursday on the 13-kilometer circuit. Toyota’s chances look good as Sebastien Buemi’s Toyota No. 8 will start from third on the grid. In its return to Le Mans after a 16-year absence in the top category, Porsche will start from second and fourth. At the wheel of Porsche No. 14, Romain Dumas set the second best time, 0.357 off the pace. Audi showed a lack of pace in qualifying. Its three cars will start from fifth, sixth and seventh.
