DRIVER PROFILES CAR #8
ANTHONY DAVIDSON
“I feel really comfortable in endurance racing; I love the camaraderie between drivers, the atmosphere and everyone being a real team player. The TS030 HYBRID was the first hybrid car I’d driven and the boost when it kicks in brings a real smile to my face. We have a wonderful team of hugely able, very professional people.”

NICOLAS LAPIERRE
“It’s a huge pleasure to drive at this level in endurance racing and I think I fit better with the team spirit, helping a team-mate and not fighting them is part of my nature. The TOYOTA programme is a great opportunity, I’ve been racing in sportscars since 2008 and I’m still enjoying it. TMG’s facility is one of the strongest parts of this programme.”
