New to the calendar, the Sebring International Circuit will host the event of 2019. TOYOTA will travel to the US confident of another top result.

The number 8 TOYOTA GAZOO Racing machine driven by ex-Formula One trio Sébastien Buemi, Kazuki Nakajima and Fernando Alonso is at the head of the championship. Just five points adrift however is the number 7 TOYOTA, piloted by Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi and José María López.
