In the first place, drivers and teams will face a race of 6, an appointment that can begin to define the resolution of the World Endurance title.

In this regard, the # 7 Toyota drivers have a nine-point advantage over the # 8 Toyota crew before the Bahrain 6 Hours.

The duel in the desert between the two Toyota GR010 Hybrids will be led in case # 7 by Mike Conway: “We are pushing to win the championship in Bahrain, but it will not be easy. We have two events, with 14 hours of racing to end the season. So far we have had a great season, especially with the victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. For us, it would be great to finish this victory with the championship. Bahrain has been a strong circuit for me over the years. It is among my favorites. Let's see what this year brings.

Kamui Kobayashi will also be at the wheel of the Toyota # 7 with the great objective of defending the lead to win the WEC along with his teammates: «Ending the year with two races at the same circuit is new for the WEC and two intense weeks await us . This is the first time driving the Toyota GR010 Hybrid on this track, so you have to be very focused and improve the balance of the car to be in good shape for both races. We are going to work very hard to try to win the World Championship again.

Argentine José María 'Pechito' López completes the Toyota # 7 line-up: «It will be rare and special to fight for the title in consecutive races on the same circuit, especially after Le Mans. The most important thing for the team is to secure the title with a good first race and then it will be seen which drivers win the championship. The crew that succeeds will have earned it. The drivers of the Toyota # 8 have proven to be very strong, so we are going to fight on the track, but always with great respect for each other ».
