Toyota’s Anthony Davidson and Sebastian Buemi claimed their fifth victory of the season for Toyota Racing Team when they clinched the 2014 FIA World Endurance Drivers’ Championship following an action-packed Six Hours of Bahrain yesterday.
Alex Wurz brought the No. 7 Toyota TS040 Hybrid to the win Saturday evening, in front of a pair of Porsche 919 Hybrids, which had its strongest race to date with its first double-podium finish of the season.
Despite another win for Toyota, the Manufacturer’s World Championship will come down to the wire at the season-ender in Sao Paulo in two weeks’ time, with the Japanese automaker holding a 40-point lead over Audi.
