Toyota will race in WEC in 2023 with the same line-up as this year, but a reserve driver is yet to be announced following Nyck de Vries' move to F1.
The Japanese manufacturer announced on Friday that Kamui Kobayashi, Mike Conway and Jose Maria Lopez will again race the #7 Toyota GR010 Hybrid and that reigning champions Sebastien Buemi, Brendon Hartley and Ryo Hirakawa will stay together in the #8 Le Mans Hypercar.
Kobayashi, who was named as team principal of the WEC squad late last year, said: “We achieved all our targets this year, winning Le Mans, Fuji and the world championships [drivers’ and manufacturers’], thanks to the big support from Toyota and our partners. “We have a strong team spirit throughout the whole team, particularly among the drivers, and we race together as one family.”Photo by: Toyota Racing
