The heartbreak, I am sure, was still present and plaguing members of the Toyota endurance racing family, prior to the start of the 2018 24 Hours of Le Mans. But, nothing destroys failure like success.
And in 2018 when the other ‘big guns’ abandoned the endurance racing ship, Toyota faced their demons, devoid of fear. And at the same track where their hearts were ripped apart and victory stolen, 3 minutes from the finish line, Toyota found favor.
At the 2018 edition of the world’s most famous endurance race, Toyota soared. The lesson was taught in brutal fashion in 2016 – to finish first you have to first finish! The student – Toyota - learnt and in 2018, victory at Le Mans for the Japanese manufacturer solidifies that which we all know – calculated persistence, bolstered by decisive planning, will yield fruits stamped with success!
Redemption has unfurled for Toyota. Congratulations Toyota – 2018 24 Hours of Le Mans victor!
