No. 8 Takes Overall Win | 2017 6 Hours of Spa

Toyota Gazoo Racing has claimed victory in Saturday’s WEC Six Hours of Spa, in a 1-2 sweep for the Japanese manufacturer after a late challenge from Porsche unraveled.

Sebastien Buemi took the No. 8 Toyota TS050 Hybrid to a narrow 1.992-second win over the sister entry of Kamui Kobayashi, who made a late charge after leading the middle stages of the race but lost out due to two ill-timed Full Course Yellows.

The No. 7 Toyota of Kazuki Nakajima took over the top spot in the fourth hour, after pitting one lap after the then-leading sister entry of Kamui Kobayashi.
