Super GT - Changes in the Toyota line-up!
Less than a month after revealing the identity of the drivers who will be defending its colours next year in WEC and WRC, Toyota this morning revealed the new livery that will be worn by its Yaris WRC and GR010 Hybrid. This came at the same time as a press conference from Japan, broadcast live on the internet, during which the Japanese giant revealed its 2024 line-up for Super GT and Super Formula.
The first piece of good news on the French side was the absence of any changes to the #37 Tom's GR Supra GT500, in which Giuliano Alesi will once again be partnered by Ukyo Sasahara. In the sister car, on the other hand, Sho Tsuboi will defend his title not with Ritomo Miyata but with Kenta Yamashita, a transfer from Rookie Racing.
Yamashita is replaced in the Rookie Racing team by long time Honda driver Nirei Fukuzumi, who joins 2019 champion Kazuya Oshima.
Yuji Tachikawa, who has retired, hands over his seat at Team Cerumo to young Toshiki Oyu, who was also previously defending Honda's interests. It should be noted that the team will no longer be sponsored by ZENT but by KeePer, long associated with Tom'S.
Finally, there are no changes for Team Sard and Team WedsSport Bandoh, which will be led by the duos Yuhi Sekiguchi / Yuichi Nakayama and Yuji Kunimoto / Sena Sakaguchi respectively.
