Toyota dominates mid-race at 6 Hours of Barcelona WEC
Toyota Gazoo Racing has established a dominant position at the midpoint of the 6 Hours of Barcelona WEC race. Following a chaotic start under rainy conditions, the Japanese manufacturer secured a provisional 1-2 lead with the number 8 car driven by Brendon Hartley and the number 7 car driven by Mike Conway.
As the track dried, teams transitioned from wet-weather tires to slicks. Toyota currently holds a significant lead, with the number 8 car leading the number 50 Ferrari by approximately 30 seconds.
The race has seen several incidents, including a collision between the number 35 Alpine and the number 12 Cadillac. Additionally, Genesis, which started from pole position, has struggled significantly, dropping down the standings due to traction control issues and driver errors that resulted in several excursions into the gravel traps.
