Toyota's hydrogen-powered Le Mans racer built to new rules would not contest every WEC round in 2028
Toyota is planning to race its proposed hydrogen-combustion Hypercar contender alongside its existing GR010 HYBRID in the 2028 World Endurance Championship. The Japanese manufacturer will take advantage of the move announced in June that gives a two-year extension to the current breed of Le Mans Hypercars and LMDhs while phasing in a prototype built to the delayed hydrogen rules now set for a 2028 introduction.
Litjens stressed that uncertainty remains around the timeline for Toyota’s hydrogen project in the absence of a firm set of regulations. But he insisted that a hydrogen-powered Toyota prototype could enter competition in 2028 “if we get the regulations in time”.
