New Chairman of Fuji Speedway
Panasonic Toyota Racing Chairman and Team Principal Tsutomu
Tomita will become the new Chairman of Fuji Speedway, it was
announced today.
As announced on 26 April, Tomita will stand down from his
role at Toyota Motorsport at the end of June to be replaced
by current Vice Chairman Tadashi Yamashina. Tomita, 63, will
take over as Chairman of Fuji Speedway, which hosts the Japanese
Grand Prix this year for the first time since 1977.
Tomita said: “I am looking forward to taking up my
new role at Fuji Speedway. I would like to thank everyone
at Toyota Motorsport and of course our partners for their
encouragement and support during my time with the team in
Formula 1. I am moving on to a new challenge with Fuji Speedway
so I will continue to be involved in Formula 1. The Japanese
Grand Prix is returning to Fuji Speedway after 30 years and
I am sure we will host a successful event. I particularly
hope to see the Toyota team achieve great things at Fuji Speedway.”
