Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

TOYOTA GAZOO #racing (TGR) has announced its customer motorsports activities*1 for 2022.

This year, TGR will continue to proactively support customer motorsports in various ways globally, and based on valuable feedback gained from customers at races, continue to strive to "make ever-better motorsports-bred cars."

The 2022 #supertaikyuseries in #japan will start on March 18. A total of four TGR customer motorsports vehicles from four separate teams, one #lexusrcfgt3 and three GR Supra GT4s, have been entered into this year's #supertaikyuseries.

Globally, in races such as the #imsaweathertechsportscarchampionship in #northamerica, the #thailandsuperseries, and the #gt4europeanseries, even more customers than last year will enjoy races with the #lexusrcfgt3 and #grsupragt4.

Feedback obtained from customers through race participation will be used for future development and to update products. TGR will put even more effort into customer motorsports with the aim of enabling customers around the world who love motorsports to easily enjoy #racing.

*1 Motorsports activities in which customers (private teams) purchase commercial vehicles tuned for races from manufacturers and take part in races

Details of Support Plan

  1. LEXUS RC F GT3
  • Through customer support for #lexusrcfgt3, we provide opportunities for customers around the world to participate in GT3 races. It is also leveraging the technologies developed through race participation into enhancing its products by applying feedback to production vehicles.

       2. GR Supra GT4

  • The #grsupragt4 is a dedicated racecar that was developed based on the GR Supra production vehicle.
  • Sales started in Europe in March 2020. Starting in August, sales regions were expanded to #northamerica and, from October, to #japan and Asia. Thanks to the support of customers worldwide, total cumulative sales to date reached 50 units at the end of 2021, approximately a year and a half after sales started.
  • In 2021, a total of eight #grsupragt4 vehicles operated by five teams in Europe, four vehicles from four teams in #northamerica, and seven vehicles from six teams in #japan participated in approximately 100 races in various GT4 categories. With a total of 184 entries, 18 victories in GT4 championships around the world and the #supertaikyuseries in #japan, and 46 podium finishes, the high potential of our cars has been demonstrated. We also receive advice on our cars and components from various customers worldwide and are working together with them on improvements. In #japan as well, race teams like ROOKIE #racing and many others have been providing feedback through which we have been growing and improving.
  • In 2022, the number of entries will be expanded further, and around ten GR Supra GT4s each in Europe, #northamerica, and #japan will participate in various races as shown below.
