SUPER GT: Ritomo Miyata set for exit in favour of WEC seat
Miyata will participate in the 2024 WEC series with a factory-backed Lexus team in the LMGT3 class, while also racing in Super Formula for TOM’S. He will be unable to continue in SUPER GT due to scheduling conflicts with WEC. Miyata’s last SUPER GT race for the foreseeable future will be at the Motegi season finale. He was named an official WEC Challenge driver by Toyota and made his WEC race debut last month. Kenta Yamashita is the favorite to replace Miyata at TOM’S, while Toyota is considering signing a driver from a rival manufacturer for Rookie Racing. There may also be an opening at the Cerumo team due to Yuji Tachikawa’s retirement. Sena Sakaguchi is a potential candidate for the Cerumo seat.
