Summary

TOYOTA GAZOO Racing takes world title fight to Japan

TOYOTA GAZOO Racing takes its battle for the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) titles to Japan when the season moves on to the finishing stretch with the 6 Hours of Fuji.

An epic contest for the World Championships between Ferrari, Porsche and TOYOTA GAZOO Racing arrives in Japan for the penultimate race of 2024 on Sunday 15 September, when a competitive field of 18 Hypercars takes on the challenge of Fuji Speedway. 

Second place in the Lone Star Le Mans in Austin earlier this month moved the team to the top of the manufacturers’ standings as it targets its sixth consecutive crown. Porsche is 11 points behind and Ferrari eight further back, with only the Fuji race and a season finale in Bahrain on 2 November remaining. 

Last year’s Fuji winners Mike Conway and Kamui Kobayashi, alongside Nyck de Vries, aim for a second win of 2024 to strengthen their World Championship chances. The #7 GR010 HYBRID finished a close second in Austin following a late penalty and those points brought Kamui and Nyck back into world title contention, just 12 points behind the #6 Porsche crew. Mike is playing a supporting role after missing Le Mans.
