Toyota is nowadays one of the key players in the top LMP1 category for the Le Mans 24 Hours race. This year, they conceded the first spot to Audi, but took 2nd and 4th place. That doesn’t mean that they skimped on the hard work this year, and in fact, they seem to be working harder than ever to get their hybrid TS030 racing car (now in its second year of competition) further up the tables.

They seem to still be trailing Audi on the track, but they’ve put out a mildly-dramatic short movie, showing the tension and the kinds of emotions that the members of the team (not limited to the drivers) go through, as they work around the clock to keep the whole operation going smoothly.

It tries to recapture some of the romantic air and the atmosphere that the competition had in the years when you could actually see the drivers driving the cars, fighting them around corners, and it really isn’t a bad effort at that.
