Toyota Racing has expanded its plans for the 2012 season and has entered the FIA World Endurance Championship.

The team had originally planned only to take part in selected races - fewer than required to be considered a full-time entrant - but revised its program after unexpected changes faced by the championship.

This means the Toyota TS030 Hybrid will make its racing debut at the Six Hours of Spa Francorchamps on May 5. Toyota Racing has also confirmed it will enter two cars for the Le Mans 24 Hours on June 16-17.
