This season’s 100% win record means Toyota travels to Bahrain in pole position to retain the Gazoo Racing World Championship. The team leads Alpine by 51 points, with a total of 65 offered in the final race, meaning a third place in the first Bahrain competition is enough to guarantee a third consecutive title. There is a three-way battle for the drivers’ crown and the identity of the first hypercar drivers’ World Champions will be decided only in the final race of 2021, on Saturday 6 November.
This season’s 100% win record means Toyota travels to Bahrain in pole position to retain the Gazoo Racing World Championship.
After their emotional first Le Mans win in August, the #7 GR010 Hybrid of Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi and Jose María López lead the crew standings as they attempt to defend the title they won in Bahrain last year.
Sebastian Buemi, Kazuki Nakajima and Brendan Hartley in the #8 GR010 Hybrid are only nine points behind after winning two out of four races so far this season. Another two wins would guarantee them the title while third-placed Alpine drivers are also in the championship challenge, trailing 30 points.
Toyota Gazoo Racing has a very strong record in Bahrain, having won five times in the 15-turn, 5.412 km Bahrain International Circuit over eight trips, including three victories for its famous TS050 hybrid LMP1 car.

The new GR010 hybrid hypercar will make its Bahrain debut in the same specification as Le Mans, when the team won a couple of wins for a strong team effort to address fuel pressure problems caused by contamination in the fuel cell. That issue has been addressed before Bahrain after extensive technical investigation.
