The Japanese manufacturer announced on Friday that Kamui Kobayashi, Mike Conway and Jose Maria Lopez will again race the #7 Toyota GR010 HYBIRD and that reigning champions Sebastien Buemi, Brendon Hartley and Ryo Hirakawa will stay together in the #8 Le Mans Hypercar.
“But we start again in 2023 with even stronger competition, so we need to improve ourselves, making our team and car even stronger. He described that spirit as “a big strength for our team” and stressed its importance for the new season when Ferrari, Porsche and Cadillac will join the WEC’s Hypercar class.“This big fight is what we all want in motorsport and I think it will be really exciting for the fans,” he added.
