Kamui Kobayashi admits the crew of the 2026 24 Hours of Le Mans-winning No.7 Toyota “were giving up” on its hopes due to a long-standing technical issue. Toyota’s four-year wait for a sixth Le Mans victory was ended on Sunday, after the No.7 car of Kamui Kobayashi, Nyck de Vries and Mike Conway rose from 14th on the grid to prevail in a tense fight with the No.8 Toyota, the No.20 BMW and the No.12 Cadillac in the final hours.
