35-year-old Anthony Davidson is on somewhat of a roll in the new chapter that is currently being written via the new LMP1-H regulations, which has seen Toyota Racing secure two successive wins in the WEC with the new TS040 Hybrid. Their new challenger has 1000bhp at its disposal, when it comes to using the accumulated energy that is gathered, which any of the six drivers can unleash with a right foot stamping hard on the throttle after clipping any apex.
He celebrated his birthday at the first round, securing victory at Silverstone with co-drivers SĂ©bastien Buemi and Nicolas Lapierre, after defending champions Audi suffered a double blow after both cars crashed out before the halfway point.
This was then followed by the win a few weeks later at Spa-Francorchamps to really help to bring the momentum to the Japanese manufacturer ahead of the 82nd running of the 24 Heures du Mans, where he could potentially be on the top step there for the first time in his sportscar career.
The Sky Sports F1 pundit was on the runner-up spot on the famed podium last year, as he explained to E-Racing’s Alex Goldschmidt that anything CAN happen at Le Sarthe.
