The new Toyota superstar who has joined an exclusive Japanese racing club
It is extremely rare for drivers to win both the Super Formula and Super GT titles in a single season, with only four drivers achieving this feat until Ritomo Miyata joined the club in 2023. At the age of 24, Miyata became the youngest driver to conquer both categories in the same year. He is also the first factory Toyota driver to achieve this. Miyata’s success has allowed him to compete on the world stage with no reservations, as he plans to take on the World Endurance Championship in 2024. He has the potential to become a member of Toyota’s Hypercar roster in the future if he continues to progress at the same rate. Miyata’s Super Formula title in 2023 was particularly impressive considering his limited experience and previous finishes. His first win at Suzuka proved to be a turning point, boosting his confidence and maturity as a driver. Miyata’s consistency throughout the season allowed him to beat his rival, Liam Lawson, for the title.
