This car can only be obtained by achieving all gold trophies in the S Licence. This was the highest finish ever for a Japanese car driven by an all-Japanese team at Le Mans. Of those, the lead and second car retired early, but the third car, driven by Ukyo Katayama, Toshio Suzuki, and Keiichi Tsuchiya managed to stay in the race and ultimately took 2nd place. The following year, Toyota entered three TS020s. In its first outing at Le Mans in 1998, the TS020 showed superior performance, faster than any other car on the track, but mechanical trouble and an accident dashed any hope of winning. The car's handling was a notch above the competition, with long control arms à la Formula 1. Powering the svelte-looking car was the same twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V8 developed during the company's Group C days. He pulled no punches with this car, incorporating the latest F1 technology into the design of the TS020. The new Le Mans Car, the TS020, was designed by André de Cortanze, known for styling the Peugeot 905B that conquered Le Mans in 1993. However, this time it entrusted the project to the group in charge of their World Rally Championship activities, German-based TTE (Toyota Team Europe) - The car it created was truly a world-class machine. Back then, Toyota developed its road race cars exclusively in-house, within Japan. In 1998, Toyota decided to race the 24 Hours of Le Mans for the first time since its days racing Group C cars. "No other Japanese race car with an all-Japan team behind the wheel had a better finish at Le Mans than this effort by Toyota."
#Gt legends one car race drivers
Starting from GT4, this car appears to be the #3 (chassis number LM804, previously the #28 car used in the 1998 24 Hours of Le Mans), driven by the same drivers at 1999 24 Hours of Le Mans. In GT2 and GT3, this car appears to be the #1 that appeared at 1999 Le Mans Fuji 1000 km, driven by Ukyo Katayama, Keiichi Tsuchiya, and Toshio Suzuki. However, the appearance of this car was slighty changed in its various appearances. This Toyota GT-One has been featured in every main Gran Turismo game since GT2, with the exception of GT Sport.
