Toyota face must-win race at Fuji for WEC title hopes

Following their win in the Le Mans 24 Hours in June, Hirakawa and his team-mates aboard the #8 Toyota GR010 Hybrid, Sebastien Buemi and Brendon Hartley, sit second in the drivers’ standings with only the Bahrain season finale to come after this weekend’s first Fuji race since 2019.

They trail Alpine trio Nicolas Lapierre, Matthieu Vaxiviere and Andre Negrao, who took their second win of the season last time out at Monza in July, by 10 points.
