The team’s unchanged driver line-up, which includes Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi, and Nyck de Vries in the #7 car, underscores its commitment to consistency and excellence.
 
With its proven roster of world-class drivers and cutting-edge technology, TOYOTA GAZOO Racing is set to uphold its mission of creating ever-better motorsports-bred cars while enhancing the appeal and sustainability of motorsports worldwide.
 
“This team is a big part of my family. I grew up around Toyota because my family has had a Toyota dealership for over 50 years, and I remember having my photo taken next to the GT-One at the Geneva Motor Show when I was a child. It is amazing to be part of the team since the first season in 2012, having achieved a lot of good results in that time. Thank you to everyone at TOYOTA GAZOO Racing for giving me the opportunity to go for another win at Le Mans and the World Championship.” Sébastien Buemi
