Toyota has expressed concern over a significant performance deficit to its rivals following qualifying for the World Endurance Championship round at Monza, which the team described as its worst qualifying session of the 2026 season.
The Japanese manufacturer's GR010 Hybrid entries struggled to match the pace of competitors during the session held on November 7, 2026, leaving the team facing a substantial gap ahead of the race.
Toyota's program officials indicated that the deficit could be as large as several seconds per lap, raising doubts about their ability to challenge for victory in the upcoming endurance event.
