While the #36 TOM’S machine of Sho Tsuboi and Ritomo Miyata is in the thick of the title fight, the same can’t be said of the sister #37 car crewed by Ukyo Sasahara and Giuliano Alesi, who have mustered a mere nine points in the first six races of the season.
In most years, that would be enough to avoid finishing last among the 15 GT500 crews, but such has been the improvement in particular of the Dunlop- and Yokohama-shod in recent seasons that TOM’S, the powerhouse outfit of the Toyota stable, is in real danger of ending up at the bottom of the pile when the dust settles on 2023.
