PUBLIC CAR INSPECTION FOR WEC ROUND 3
Race week has finally begun for the 24 Hours of Le Mans, part of the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC). A special event area was opened at the Le Mans city center for two days on Sunday, June 12 for the annual public car inspections. This event is an opportunity to see the race cars and drivers up close. Despite the rainy weather, many racing fans turned out at the public square that was the site of the inspection. TOYOTA GAZOO Racing showed their two TS050 HYBRID cars to the fans who visited, and six drivers were on hand for a commemorative photo, vowing their dedication to win.
