BBC now reporting that Alonso is almost certain to race at Le Mans next year for Toyota, also that he may race in most of the WEC season for 2018. I feel he wants that Triple Crown.

Norris in that spare McLaren seat then or will he be able to contest both championships with apparently only one clash?

Is Toyota a good choice with the new rules and teams?


I know we were gutted that an LMP2 didn't take the top spot last years (even though they took 2 &3 on podium).  It ain't certain Fernando:

with apologies to Abba fans:

They were closer now Fernando
Every hour, every minute seemed to last eternally
I was so afraid Fernando
We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die
And I'm not ashamed to say
The (almost) roar of the honda made me cry

There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
for Liberty, Fernando
Though we never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I will, for money, Fernando

Doesn't necessarily have to be Toyota.  What if United Autosports decides to run a Ginetta in LMP1 next year ?
If it's Toyota, Lopez will probably lose his seat.  He didn't really impress this season, cost them a victory (Shanghai) and podium finish (Silverstone) and the chance for the Manufacturers title.

Rumours are that Alonso will be at LM next season, and is eager to do more races (could do the whole season except Fuji), but that's been downplayed by McLaren this weekend who want him to focus on F1 instead of 2 championships.  Toyota said they won't decide about running in the WEC next season until december, if Alonso turns up in Bahrain that announcement might come sooner.

One thing is for sure, 2018/2019 is going to be a cracking season !!

Methinks he wants to win overall (of course I don't know this angel); not just a class win.  Undecided
