Tomita named Fuji's chairman
The Toyota team have announced their team principal Tsutomu Tomita will become the new Chairman of the Fuji Speedway circuit
Tomita, 63, announced last month that he will stand down from his role at Toyota Motorsport at the end of June to be replaced by current Vice Chairman Tadashi Yamashina.
Tomita will now take over as Chairman of Fuji Speedway, which will host the Japanese Grand Prix this year for the first time since 1977.
"I am looking forward to taking up my new role at Fuji Speedway," he said. "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 One.
"I am moving on to a new challenge with Fuji Speedway so I will continue to be involved in Formula One. 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."
