Toyota Leads Le Mans Test Day with Impressive Speed, WEC Stock Drops to 372nd in Market Ranking

On June 9, 2025, WEC's trading volume reached 2.53 billion, a 45.95% decrease from the previous day, ranking 372nd in the day's stock market. WEC's stock price fell by 0.67%.

Toyota's GR010 HYBRIDs demonstrated impressive speed during the Le Mans Test Day, with Brendon Hartley setting a new best time of 3m 26.246s, surpassing last year's record. The Toyota team ran smoothly throughout the day, showcasing their preparedness for the upcoming race.

Toyota's dominance was evident as they topped the timesheets, with Hartley's performance in the afternoon session securing their lead. The team's technical director, David Floury, noted the challenges posed by interruptions but remained optimistic about their performance.

The test day saw various manufacturers vying for top positions, with Ferrari, Alpine, Porsche, and BMW closely following Toyota. The increased power of all cars and the resurfaced circuit contributed to quicker lap times overall. The Balance of Performance (BoP) system, introduced in 2021, added complexity to interpreting the test day results, as teams often hide their true pace to avoid late adjustments.

Despite the competitive field, Toyota's performance at the Le Mans Test Day suggests a strong contender for the upcoming race. The team's ability to adapt to interruptions and maintain their lead indicates a well-prepared and resilient squad, poised for success in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
