LeMans Hour 5: Toyota takes the lead
The No 7 Toyota now leads the 24 Hours of LeMans race from the Audi e-tron No 1. Toyota also runs third of the No. 2 and No. 4 Audis.
The Toyotas are giving the Audis a real run for the money using better reliability rather than outright speed. We do not expect the Toyota to stay up front for long because of the Audis do have more outright pace.
