DENSO, a primary partner of Toyota Racing, is celebrating news of both drivers’ and manufacturers’ World Championship triumphs in the 2014 FIA World Endurance Series.

Toyota Racing’s win at the Six Hours of Bahrain in November, the penultimate race of the Championship, was its fifth victory of the season as Anthony Davidson and Sébastien Buemi secured the drivers’ title. A second-place finish behind Porsche at the Six Hours of Interlagos in Brazil at the end f the month was then enough to secure Toyota Racing the manufacturers' title in the FIA World Endurance Championship.

Proud Title sponsor DENSO developed a rear hybrid motor system specifically for the TS040 Hybrid model driven by this year’s winning team. The TS040 Hybrid endurance racing car, featuring Toyota’s ground-breaking four-wheel drive hybrid technology and a DENSO motor-generator unit at the rear, had completed over 25,000km of testing in preparation for the season, which started at Silverstone in April.

It is not the first time that DENSO has partnered the triumphant manufacturer, whose close relationship with World Endurance Championship racing goes back to the Group C Series in the 1980s.

Martin Pring, Manager of DENSO Aftermarket Sales UK & Ireland said, “It has been an amazing Championship season for Toyota Racing and this title victory is the icing on the cake. We at DENSO are extremely proud to play a part in Toyota’s triumph and would like to congratulate the whole team on this incredible accomplishment.”
