Toyota driver Ritomo Miyata is set to exit SUPER GT in order to race in the FIA World Endurance Championship next season.
Miyata is expected to embark on a full campaign in the 2024 WEC as part of an anticipated factory-backed Lexus effort in the new LMGT3 class. The 24-year-old Japanese driver will combine this with another season in Super Formula racing for Toyota’s flagship TOM’S squad, something made possible by a lack of date conflicts between the two championships.
Miyata’s SUPER GT exit leaves a major hole in the #36 TOM’S line-up for the 2024 season alongside Tsuboi, who is set for his fourth different team-mate in as many years since joining the team. Motorsport.com understands that current Rookie Racing Toyota driver Kenta Yamashita is the leading candidate to fill the gap. Yamashita, who won the 2019 GT500 title alongside current team-mate Kazuya Oshima, is no stranger to TOM’S, having raced for the team in Japanese Formula 3 in 2014-16.
