Toyota WEC junior Ritomo Miyata launched his career globally by winning both the Super Formula and Super GT titles in an accomplished campaign, becoming by far the youngest of the five drivers to have achieved the feat, at the age of 24.
In his third season driving for TOM’S in Super Formula, Miyata added to his one-lap speed, impressive long-run pace, and an amazing ability to get overtaking moves done when needed, with his consistency over the season allowing him to beat Liam Lawson to the title.
In Super GT, he and Sho Tsuboi assembled one of the most dominant seasons in recent memory, with his charge to victory at Autopolis only confirming his star potential.
Over the course of three seasons for TOM’S in Super Formula, Ritomo Miyata has taken huge strides. From 10th overall in his 2021 rookie season, he improved to fourth last year, and at the third time of asking claimed the championship, a rate of progression rarely seen with Japanese drivers.
