Thanks Bob. Successful hybrids in racing is a great way to get the last of the naysayers to shut up about hybrids, Prius and such. Just point them to this video ... (skip commercial) Listen To Toyota Hybrid Race Car Start Up Le Mans Commercial - New Carjam Car Radio Show 2012 - YouTube btw, the Audi etron hybrid won 24 hr LeMans last year.
The last I'd heard was about the Nissan 'delta' crash and had not been following subsequent races. Brazil was a happy bit of news. What really surprised me was the 'rear wheel capacitor' hybrid drivetrain. I immediately thought of the Estima minivan. Bob Wilson
The hybrid was entered into 6 WEC races last year. There was only one car entered in the last five after the other car was pretty much destroyed in a crash at LeMans. Out of the last five, the hybrid won three, came in second in one and was a DNF after a crash in one. So, that wasn't a bad season when a single entry was up against the Audi team.
