The two-time WEC champion, Mike Conway, will be reuniting with his #7 Toyota GR010 Hybrid teammates, Kamui Kobayashi and Nyck de Vries, at the upcoming 6 Hours of Sao Paulo on 14 July. This will be Conway’s first appearance since the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps as he was replaced by José María López at last month’s Le Mans 24 Hours due to injuries. The WEC will return to the Brazilian venue for the first time since 2014, when Conway had just made his third outing for the Toyota LMP1 team. Although watching Le Mans from a distance was tough for Conway, he is excited to be back behind the wheel and aims to help his teammates win the World Championship. At Le Mans, the #7 Toyota fought fiercely for the win against the #50 Ferrari 499P crew, resulting in one of the closest finishes in event history, only 14.221 seconds apart. The upcoming race in Sao Paulo will be crucial for Kobayashi and de Vries as they continue to battle for the championship title, currently sitting third in the standings behind two other strong teams.
