I'm hearing a lot of talk about Audi and Porsche's 2016 LMP competitors, but what about the Toyota TS050? Right now it's very bad in the corners, with its apex speeds nowhere near the likes of what its LMP1 rivals are capable of. Even acceleration and top speed are meh, so the only way it stands out is with great fuel consumption.

The problem in Gr.1 is that it is unbalanced and some cars don't deserve to be there. It should be separated into Gr.C, Gr.1 and Gr.1 H, or perhaps also adding Gr.1 VGT and Gr.1 VGT H to further organise the current roster of cars (plenty of cars to go around in each proposed group).
The only problem i would say the Toyota has is the top speed (got srewed by that alot in last week's race at Le Mans) but other than that i would say it's pretty underrated and it's handling can rival easily the Porsche and the Audi. Plus it sound so much better :P
 
The Toyota isn’t as good on the brakes as the other two and it lacks that little bit of top speed that the R18 has. It has great acceleration out of slow & medium speed corners though, and it’s better on fuel.

I'm not so sure, but I agree with the great sound lol. If you try it out yourself with BoP and the fixed setup at a place like Le Mans there's a noticeable difference in apex speeds when compared with the Audi and Porsche, espescially in sweeping sections of the track like Tetre Rouge and the Porsche Curves.
