Toyota Gazoo Racing has today confirmed that Japan’s Ryo Hirakawa will join its driver line-up for the team’s 2022 FIA WEC campaign.

丰田此前宣布，日本车手平川亮将加盟其WEC车队，征战2022赛季。

Hirakawa will team up with Sébastien Buemi and Brendon Hartley in in the No. 8 GR010 Hybrid Hypercar, replacing Kazuki Nakajima who announced he would step down as a driver after the WEC’s season-closer in Bahrain last month. Hirakawa is a rising star of Japanese racing having won the 2017 Super GT championship.

与此同时，中岛一贵将退居二线，不在出任车手，上赛季收官站巴林的比赛也由此成为了他的绝唱。作为日本赛车界的耀眼新星，平川亮在2017年夺得了Super GT总冠军。他将在新赛季搭档塞巴斯蒂安-布埃米，及布兰登-哈特利，一同驾驶八号丰田赛车。

There have also been other notable changes in the Toyota Gazoo Racing team for 2022 including Kamui Kobayashi being named as Team Principal in parallel to his racing commitments. In a press release issued by Toyota, the team stated that Kobayashi “will bring a driver’s perspective to team leadership with a specific focus on enhancing the team for the Hypercar era.”

而这还不是丰田赛季前唯一令人瞩目的人事变动。另一位明星车手，小林可梦伟，在继续作为车手参赛的同时，将担任车队经理一职。丰田在发布会上如是说：“作为一名车手，小林将为车队领导层带来全新的管理元素，尤其会着重于更好得带领团队，在新的混动时代中打下一片天。”

Elsewhere, Nakajima will move to Toyota Gazoo Racing Europe (TGR-E) in Cologne, (Germany) in the new position of Vice Chairman. He will enhance the organisation and optimise its driver-focused approach to WEC, alongside team and driver management responsibilities.

退居二线的中岛一贵将前往科隆，成为丰田赛车运动欧洲部的副主席。他将专工车厂在WEC方向上的车手发展及车队管理。
