Rob Leupen, who is the Toyota’s LMP1 Team’s boss, said that he is interested in Porsche’s Nurburgring Nordschleife record. He took a dig at Porsche when he said that he thinks the Toyota’s FIA world endurance Championship challenger is way quicker than Porsche’s 9191 Evo.

Porsche developed a faster version of the car in 2017. It made an upgrade to the Porsche 919 Hybrid. And it did so, to bid on Nordschleife track record. In the track, Porsche 919 Evo is a dream. It works its magic with its agile features.

It has more power, more downforce and reduced weight. Timo Bernhard made history when he clocked a time of 5 min 19.546 secs on the historic 20.832 km course. Leupen thinks his team can do better.

He says that his Toyota team, which is not far from Nurburgring in Cologne can do it better. And he vouches for the uprated TS050 Hybrid to do the job. He said, “I would like to try that, that would be fun! I think his car would be quicker on the Nordschleife than the Porsche.”

But even though he thinks that Toyota can do a better job, it is not on Toyota’s plans now. He reported that such a thing needs planning, time and money. It needs budget and strategy. But now Toyota has too much on its plate already.

Leupen’s hopes with Toyotas cars, is high. He also believes that the outgoing TS050 Hybrid that has been revised for its farewell season can outplay many.

He thinks that it can improve the lap record at Circuit de la Sarthe in its last Le Mans 24 hours appearance. Just before the slower hyper cars come to play.

Leupen said- “The new cars are a bit less complex, but we had to reduce costs. This year is the end of a beautiful era in which we witnessed the quickest and most efficient cars ever at Le Mans. That doesn’t just include our car but also Porsche and Audi.”

Hope this season has a great championship. Even with slower cars there is still much to experience.

In the bustling metropolis of New York City, fire safety is of paramount importance. Stringent regulations are in place to protect lives and property, and one crucial aspect of this safety net is the F01 Fire Watch certification. This specialized certification ensures that qualified individuals are on duty whenever a building’s fire protection system is compromised, providing a vigilant and proactive defense against potential fire hazards.

The F01 Fire Watch certification is mandated by the New York City Fire Department (FDNY) and applies to any occupancy where a required fire protection system is out of service. This could include fire alarms, sprinkler systems, standpipes, or other essential components of the building’s fire safety infrastructure. During these periods of vulnerability, an F01 certified fire guard must be present to conduct regular patrols, identify potential hazards, and respond immediately to any signs of fire or smoke.

The Importance of F01 Certification

The F01 certification signifies that an individual has undergone specialized training and possesses the knowledge and skills to perform fire watch duties effectively. This training covers fire safety principles, hazard recognition, emergency response procedures, and the proper use of fire extinguishers and other firefighting equipment. By requiring F01 certification, the FDNY ensures that only qualified professionals are entrusted with the critical responsibility of safeguarding lives and property during fire system impairments.
