Fernando Alonso got his first experience of the Toyota he will race at this year's Le Mans 24 Hours, comparing the newly-released TS050-Hybrid car to a rocket ship.
Alonso will contest the famous endurance race as part of an extensive deal with Toyota which will see him race at every World Endurance Championship round which does not clash with a Formula One race. The deal allows him to continue his pursuit of motorsport's Triple Crown, something he started last year with a debut at the Indy 500.
Toyota has released a video of the Spaniard's first test of his newly-unveiled car, which he put through it paces last week in a three-day test at Aragon.
