Toyota wins Le Mans 24 Hours for first time in four years

The four-year gap matters as much as the win itself — Toyota had to overhaul the TR010 Hybrid significantly to get back on top, which tells you the LMDh competition from BMW and Cadillac has genuinely closed the field. A de Vries, Kobayashi and Conway victory is also notable given the crew composition, with de Vries in particular carrying a point to prove after his F1 chapter ended badly. The fact that both Toyotas finished — first and third — suggests reliability held where it needed to, even if the race was described as tense rather than comfortable. For WEC watchers, this result resets the hypercar hierarchy heading into the rest of the season.
