Good news for ex-W Series racer Miki Koyama (mkhouse001), who is set for her SuperGT race debut at Fuji after clearing the mandatory rookie test:
Toyota junior Koyama, the reigning Formula Regional Japanese champion, is registered as the third driver for the Arnage Racing-run #50 Lexus RC F GT3 alongside Igor Fraga and Yuga Furutani for the Fuji 450km on May 4.
SUPER GT regulations require newcomers to complete 12 consecutive laps at a pace acceptable to the GTA, without incidents or running off-course. The 25-year-old former W Series competitor is therefore set to become SUPER GT's first female driver since Cyndie Allemann in 2012. "Before now, there was a lot of rain and I wasn't able to put all my laps together, but I was surprised at how just how good a car that Igor, Yuga and the whole team had been able to prepare [over the course of the Okayama opener]. It's nice to be able to speak to everyone on the same level!"Koyama is one of a number of rookie third drivers registered for what will be the first of five 450km races on the 2023 schedule.
