After six hours of qualifying for the 86th 24 Hours Of Le Mans, a mighty Toyota TS050 will take first and second place on the starting grid. Toyota will be looking to take every edge it can get after a heartbreaking Le Mans last year, but its new cars are poised to dominate.

Toyota Gazoo Racing’s Number 8 car secured the pole position with a best lap time of 3:15.377, while Number 7 finished a few more laps in the qualifying session but did a best of 3:17.377, exactly two seconds behind the lead car.
