Toyota has unveiled a retro GT-One-inspred livery for Le Mans, celebrating 40 years of the manufacturer competing in the French endurance classic. The livery, which will be used on the #7 Toyota GR010 Hybrid, is inspired by the livery used on the Toyota GT-One, raced at Le Mans in 1998 in the GT1 class. It almost won the race, too, if the #29 car’s gearbox had not failed late on. The #7 car will be driven by Kamui Kobayashi, Mike Conway, and Nyck de Vries at this year’s event.
