WEC Imola: Toyota beats Porsche to win rain-impacted thriller

Mike Conway, Nyck de Vries and Kamui Kobayashi won by 7.081s in their #7 Toyota GR010 HYBRID Le Mans Hypercar over the #6 Penske Porsche Motorsport 963 LMDh of Laurens Vanthoor, Andre Lotterer and Kevin Estre, both crews taking advantage of a timely switch to wets when the previously dominant Ferraris attempted without success to keep its dry tyres working.
Starting sixth, Conway overtook Fred Makowiecki's PPM Porsche at the restart following an early safety car, then gained two places at the first round of stops by overcutting Robert Kubica's customer AF Corse-run Ferrari 499P LMH and benefitting from a slow stop for early leader Nicklas Nielsen's factory #50 Ferrari - who required a fresh left-rear tyre.
