FIA World Endurance Championship TOYOTA GAZOO Racing announces 2025 driver line-up | RELEASE | WEC | TOYOTA GAZOO Racing

TOYOTA GAZOO Racing will take on the challenge of the 2025 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) with its established and proven driver line-up.

The team completed its 12th season of WEC competition – all exclusively with hybrid power – earlier this month by extending its reign as manufacturers’ World Champions for the sixth consecutive season.

In 2025, TOYOTA GAZOO Racing will defend that title and fight for its sixth victory in the Le Mans 24 Hours with a two-car team in the WEC’s top Hypercar category^*. It will enter two GR010 HYBRIDs, fitted with a RACING HYBRID powertrain that has been advanced through WEC competition.

Behind the wheel, an unchanged driver line-up of proven winners and World Champions will continue to contribute to TOYOTA GAZOO Racing’s mission of making ever-better motorsports-bred cars and pursuing activities to enhance the appeal and sustainability of motorsports.

Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi and Nyck de Vries will participate in the #7 GR010 HYBRID for a second successive season together, having won one race in 2024. Kamui and Nyck finished third in the drivers’ standings this year.

Sébastien Buemi, Brendon Hartley and Ryo Hirakawa have won two world titles and one Le Mans crown together during their three seasons in the #8 GR010 HYBRID and they will attempt to add to that in 2025.
Sébastien is the team’s longest-serving driver, having made his debut in its first race, at Le Mans in 2012.

The 2025 WEC season again features eight races, starting in Qatar on 28 February and concluding on 8 November in Bahrain. The 93rd Le Mans 24 Hours takes place on 14-15 June while TOYOTA GAZOO Racing’s home race, the 6 Hours of Fuji, is on 28 September.
