Toyota Motorsports News TOYOTA MOTORSPORTS NEWS November 10, 2006 TOYOTA Young Drivers Program Report (Sp.Edition) Public Affairs Division Toyota Motor Corporation TDP Driver Kazuki Nakajima Selected as Test Driver for Williams F1 Team for 2007 Kohei Hirate and Kamui Kobayashi to Participate in Panasonic Toyota Racing F1 Tests Kazuki Nakajima, who competed in the 2006 F3 Euro series, was selected as a test driver for the Williams F1 team, for the 2007 season. He also plans to participate on the DAMS team in the GP2 series, a category below F1. In addition, Kohei Hirate, who also competed in the F3 Euro series this year, plans to race in the GP2 series on the Trident team, starting in 2007. Kamui Kobayashi, winner of the rookie title in the 2006 F3 Euro series, plans to compete in the series for a second year as a part of the ASM Formula 3 team. Both Hirate and Kobayashi will be given opportunities to perform F1 tests for the Panasonic Toyota Racing team. Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) is conducting the Toyota Young Drivers Program (TDP) with the participation of promising young drivers to identify and cultivate new talent and support their continuous improvement. This program is aimed to foster drivers who hope to compete in top racing categories, both in Japan and throughout the world. The program will continue support the activities of participating drivers through a process of selection and improvement in each category in 2007. Reference: History of TDP The TDP was established in 2000 as a part of the Formula Toyota Racing School (FTRS), a hands-on racing school that TMC has been operating for some time in Japan, to discover and cultivate talented young drivers through scholarships. In 2001, TMC then created the Toyota Drivers Academy (TDA) to foster young drivers overseas. The two programs were integrated in 2005 under the name Toyota Young Drivers Program (TDP), allowing centralized management of activities. In 2006, the TDP supported participation in Europe in the GP2 series as well as the F3 Euro series, a gateway to F1, and the Formula Renault 2.0 series, an introductory category. In Japan, the TDP supported drivers in the All Japan F3 Championship, which gathers those aiming to participate in the top categories in the future, the ESSO Formula Toyota series, an introductory formula series and Formula Challenge Japan (FCJ), which were created in 2006 to foster young drivers. In total, 15 drivers have developed their abilities through participation. Contact: Katsuhiko Koganei, Public Affairs Div., Toyota Motor Corporation TEL: +81-3-3817-9104 Toyota Motorsports website for the media: http://www.toyota.co.jp/ms/press 1 Comments of drivers and TMC motorsports personnel Kohei Hirate (Manor Motorsport) : I will compete in the GP2 series next year and participate in races here (Europe) for another year. I can also test drive occasionally so I am extremely happy about that. I am very motivated for next season. I have advanced in GP2, which is a step toward F1, and I will do my very best to come even closer to F1. Kazuki Nakajima (Manor Motorsport) : This will be the first time for me to participate in both GP2 and F1. I hope to gain as much experience as possible and achieve good results in GP2. I am still not completely sure how F1 is like, but I will have the opportunity to drive as a test driver and hope to contribute to the team while gaining experience. My ultimate goal is to be an F1 race driver and I hope to make 2007 a year to achieve my goal. Kamui Kobayashi (ASM Formula 3) : I will be able to compete in the F3 Euro series next year with the same champion team as this year. I get along well with other team members and I believe that the team structure makes it possible for me to be series champion next year and I am going to pursue that goal. As a member of the Toyota family, I would like to take the opportunity that has been given to me to be an F1 test driver and I hope I can contribute to creating outstanding racecars and support the team. I hope to gain extensive experience and become an appreciative driver. Yoshiaki Kinoshita, General Manager, TMC Motorsports Division : Hirate, Nakajima, and Kobayashi have been working very hard in Europe compete in F1, which is one of the goals of the TDP. It is a tremendous honor that Nakajima was offered the opportunity to be an F1 test driver for the Williams F1 team. TMC will continue to support these drivers as a member of the TDP. Hiromi Hayashi, Deputy General Manager, TMC Motorsports Division : The Japanese media frequently reported the activities of Hirate, Nakajima, and Kobayashi in Europe this year, and I believe their performance was highly evaluated. The three often appeared on the podium in the highly competitive F3 Euro series, displaying that they can match or even surpass the top European drivers. Next year, each driver will have his own issues to address. I hope that when they move up to the GP2 series, Nakajima and Hirate will polish their skills in the more competitive environment, and that Kobayashi will become a champion of the F3 Euro series in his second year. All three plan to race in F1 test programs and I look forward to them making the most of these opportunities and taking on the challenge of becoming F1 drivers. Other TDP drivers in Europe and Japan also hone their skills in their respective categories. I am very pleased that our activities are being praised in Europe and Japan. 2 TDP Drivers 2006 Season Results category Driver（Team） Series Standing Notes GP2 Franck Perera(DAMS) 17th (8 Points) 1 Podium Kohei Hirate (Manor Motorsport) 3rd (61 Points) 4 Podiums, 1 Win Formula 3 Euro Series Kazuki Nakajima (Manor Motorsport) 7th (36 Points) 3 Podiums, 1 Win Kamui Kobayashi (ASM Formule 3) 8th (34 Points) 3 Podiums Henkie Waldshmidt 15th (19 Points) Formula Renault 2.0 Eurocup Martin Plowman 23rd (7 Points) Formula Nippon Tatsuya Kataoka (Team Le Mans) 8th (9 Points) 2 Podiums Kazuya Oshima (TOM's) 2nd (185 Points) 5 Podiums, 3 Wins Hiroaki Ishiura (Now Motorsports) 9th (69 Points) 1 Win All Japan F3 Hideto Yasuoka (TOM's) 12th (15 Points) Hiroyuki Matsumura (TOM's) 15th (5 Points) Takuto Iguchi (TOM's Spirit) 6th (48 Points) 1 Podium Keisuke Kunimoto (TOM's Spirit) 7th (45 Points) ESSO Formula TOYOTA (FT) Yoshifumi Kubota (TOM's Spirit) 12th (11 Points) Sadaomi Masuda (TOM's Spirit) 10th (22 Points) Takuto Iguchi 8th (34 Points) 1 Podium Keisuke Kunimoto 10th (22 Points) Formula Challenge Japan (FCJ) Yoshifumi Kubota 12th (18 Points) Sadaomi Masuda 17th (11 Points) Note:All Japan F3 Results are provisionaly.

From products developed through these activities to the establishment of the GR Garage, TOYOTA GAZOO Racing’s motorsports activities have been promoted as a comprehensive method of increasing numbers of car fans. At last month’s North American International Auto Show in Detroit, we unveiled the new “Supra,” which is set to become the first global model in the GR series line-up. The new Supra incorporates the knowledge and know-how that TOYOTA GAZOO Racing has accumulated thus far, and has been developed with the goal of enabling customers to fully experience the joy of driving. We have positioned the new Supra as our flagship model and, by feeding back knowledge gained through motorsports activities into the development of new products, we intend to further expand the GR series line-up. In 2018, TOYOTA GAZOO Racing achieved the long-desired goal of winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans and also secured the WRC manufacturers’ title, demonstrating that the challenges we have embarked on are leading to concrete results. However, we will not rest on our laurels. In order to deliver the anticipation and excitement of driving to a wider audience, we will engage in the motorsports activities listed below in 2019.

  • TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Przedstawia Pełny Skład Zespołu Kierowców W Sezonie FIA WEC 2017
    28 marca 2017 TOYOTA GAZOO Racing przedstawia pełny skład zespołu kierowców w sezonie FIA WEC 2017 TOYOTA GAZOO Racing podała listę kierowców startujących w sezonie 2017 w serii FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC). Yuji Kunimoto i Nicolas Lapierre dołączą do zespołu w wyścigach na torze Spa-Francorchamps i w Le Mans. Yuji Kunimoto i Nicolas Lapierre poprowadzą Toyotę TS050 Hybrid #9 razem ze Stéphane’em Sarrazinem w 2. i 3. eliminacjach rozpoczynającego się sezonu FIA WEC. 26-letni Yuji Kunimoto ma bogate doświadczenie w wyścigach długodystansowych po 8 sezonach w serii Super GT. W ubiegłym roku kierowca pokonał wielu słynnych zawodników, wygrywając japońskie mistrzostwa Super Formula, przy jednoczesnym udziale w serii Super GT. Nicolas Lapierre należał do zespołu Toyoty w serii FIA World Endurance Championship w latach 2012–2014. Lapierre wygrywał z Toyotą pierwsze wyścigi WEC, po czym zdobył mocną pozycję jednego z najlepszych kierowców LMP2, dwukrotnie wygrywając w tej klasie w 24-godzinnym wyścigu w Le Mans oraz zostając mistrzem świata kierowców FIA WEC 2016 roku. „To dla mnie spełnienie marzeń. Nie wyobrażałem sobie, że pewnego dnia będę mógł dołączyć do zespołu takiego jak TOYOTA GAZOO Racing w wyścigu Le Mans, dlatego jestem zdeterminowany, by jak najlepiej skorzystać z tej szansy. Podobały mi się pierwsze testy za kierownicą TS050 Hybrid, który jest naprawdę imponującym samochodem. Klasa LMP1 i wyścigi długodystansowe w Europie to dla mnie nowość, więc ciężko pracuję, żeby jak najwięcej się nauczyć od kolegów. Jestem pewien, że wiele zyskam dzięki Stéphane’owi i Strona 1 z 5 Nicolasowi, którzy są bardzo doświadczeni i bardzo szybcy” – podzielił się wrażeniami Yuji Kunimoto.

  • Media Information
    PR Document 2020 Japanese Super Formula Championship Series Media Information August 27 2020 1 Super Formula : Then and Now In the 1950s, the Fédération Internationale de I’Automobile (FIA) launched the Drivers’ Championship to find the world’s fastest formula car drivers the purest form of racing machine. That ethos was passed on to all FIA national member organizations.Top-level formula motor racing has been held in Japan in various forms since 1973, when Formula 2000 was first launched. The competition evolved into Formula Two in 1978 and then Formula 3000 in 1987. Japan Race Promotion, Inc. (JRP) was established in 1995 and continued carrying the competition torch in 1996 under the name of Formula Nippon. In 2013, the name of the competition was changed again to Japanese Championship Super Formula and a bold plan was implemented to upgrade the race cars and lift the profile of the competition with the clear aim of spreading the appeal of Super Formula from Japan to other parts of Asia. Another hope was to turn the series into a third great open-wheel racing competition to go along with Formula One and IndyCar. The competition’s name was changed again in 2016 to Japanese Super Formula Championship. In 2017, BS Fuji began broadcasting live Super Formula races, giving many motorsport fans the chance to watch championship races on free-to-air television. In the early days, formula racing in Japan was led by top drivers such as Kunimitsu Takahashi, Kazuyoshi Hoshino and Satoru Nakajima, who later competed on the global stage in Formula One.
