Toyota will enter just one TS030 Hybrid LMP1 car in this year's World Endurance Championship of the FIA.
Reports in Europe reveal that the Japanese car manufacturer has decided to race just one car this year to limit of costs.
The No. 7 TS030 will be driven in all rounds of the WEC by Alexander Wurz and Nicolas Lapierre.
Toyota will enter two cars at the 6 Hours of Spa and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Kazuki Nakajima will then by driving alongside Wurz and Lapierre. Toyota has yet to confirm the drivers of the second TS030.
Toyota will race an updated car this season, to be built around a new monocoque that eliminates the compromises in the 2012 carbon fibre tub, which was designed to allow the TS030 to retrieve kinetic energy via either the front or rear axle.
