Career

Miyake was the winner of the SRS-F (Suzuka Circuit Racing School Formula) Scholarship in 2018.[1] He made his professional racing debut later that year, in the final round of the FIA F4 Japanese Championship. In 2019, he competed full-time in Japanese F4 as a member of the Honda Formula Dream Project (HFDP).[2] Miyake won the second race of the season at Okayama, and went on to finish as runner-up in the championship behind fellow Honda junior Ren Sato.

After a one-year hiatus racing in Super GT, Miyake returned to single-seater racing in the 2021 Super Formula Lights Championship, driving with Rn-sports. He won two races[3] and scored five podiums, finishing fourth place in the standings.

Super GT - GT300

Miyake stepped up to the GT300 class of Super GT in 2020, driving for series newcomers Max Racing in their Lexus RC F GT3.[4] Miyake stayed with the team for 2021, as they changed vehicles to the GT300 spec Toyota GR Supra. Miyake won his first Super GT race at Suzuka Circuit in August, and, alongside co-driver Yuui Tsutsumi, finished fifth in the GT300 drivers' championship. He continued with Max Racing for 2022, partnered with veteran Kimiya Satō, but would only score one point throughout the season.

Miyake's 2023 campaign began strongly with a podium at the opening round at Okayama, but his season ended early when his team, Max Racing, was forced to withdraw from Super GT and cease operations after their Toyota GR Supra GT was destroyed in a vehicle fire at the fourth round at Fuji.[5][6]

Miyake gets his chance to step up to GT500 Class with Nissan. He will race with NISMO NDDP team, as he partners with Mitsunori Takaboshi.[7]

Super Formula

Following the conclusion of his Super Formula Lights campaign, Miyake tested a Super Formula car for the first time at the end-of-season test in December 2021, driving with KCMG.[8] On 7 February 2022, Miyake stepped up to Super Formula, joining newcomers Team Goh alongside Ren Satō.[9] He impressed in the early half of the season, scoring points on debut and finishing on the podium at the fourth round at Autopolis, but would struggle for the rest of the season and only scored points once more at the final round at Suzuka. He finished the season fourteenth in the standings with 21 points, and was replaced by former Formula 2 driver Cem Bölükbaşı for the 2023 season.

In January 2024, Miyake was announced to be returning to Super Formula for the 2024 season, taking the place of Toyota-bound Nirei Fukuzumi at ThreeBond Racing.[10][11]
