If we werent scheduled for other things I would fly to see this. A unique event! Toyota's plan to run rare Fuji F1 test with Haas explained Haas will run a two-day test at the former grand prix venue on August 6 and August 7, with test and reserve driver Ryo Hirakawa driving on day one before Toyota’s reigning double Super Formula and Super GT champion Sho Tsuboi makes his F1 debut on the second day. The test, which continues Toyota’s desire to have its best Japanese drivers gain F1 experience and will also be attended by Toyota personnel, will be open to the public on both days. Most teams have taken advantage of the rules around Testing of Previous Cars (commonly referred to as TPC testing) in recent years but Haas only started running an old car this year because it lacked the funding and human resource to have a test team in place. But as Toyota wants to use its Haas alliance to develop its own drivers as well as engineers and mechanics, it has facilitated extensive TPC running with the 2023 Haas.
