Toyota Details TR010 Hybrid Overhaul Using Single Evo Joker

The aero-led refresh prioritizes drivability with a stronger Toyota look within the LMH homologation window.

Overview

  • Toyota confirmed it spent one Evo joker to homologate the TR010 Hybrid for the 2026 WEC season.
  • The package is the car’s largest aerodynamic revision since 2021, adding new front bodywork, reshaped sidepods and a reworked rear wing.
  • Engineers targeted easier, more consistent handling and sought to mitigate Le Mans top‑speed weaknesses within tightly regulated aero limits and BoP.
  • Toyota also introduced non-joker reliability tweaks after issues in 2025, including a wheel-loss incident at Le Mans.
  • The upgrade slipped from a 2025 plan after the FIA moved homologation from Sauber to Windshear, and the car now carries TR010 branding under Toyota Racing.
