The team found that the damage to the car after Nakajim's accident with the Audi was rather more serious than they first thought so they replaced the tub and have built up a new car. Toyota are fortunate to have their Motorsports HQ based in Cologne which is only about 144 kms from Spa. All the same they got the job done and they had a car out again for the final free practice. It ran for around 22 laps which was about par for the course and a good shake down for what is effectively a new car. Both Toyotas were a bit off the pace behind the Audis and Porsches but that won't bother them much!
