Indeed, so renowned is SRO’s Balance of Performance technology that it is licensed by other organisers. SRO’s BoP governs the GT300 category in Japan’s domestic series, Super GT, while China GT also maintains a level playing field in its GT4 class thanks to SRO. It’s a similar story Down Under where all cars competing in the Australian GT Championship’s GT3 and GT4 ranks remain evenly matched thanks to SRO. This was perfectly illustrated at the Liqui-Moly Bathurst 12 Hour in 2016 when just 1.2s separated the winning McLaren from the second placed Nissan at the finish. But it’s not just SRO’s BoP that proves popular among partners. Its global network, track record and influence recently saw SRO win the tender to assist motorsport’s world governing body, the FIA, with promoting and organising Macau’s annual FIA GT World Cup event. SRO acts as the interface between the FIA and local promoter, co- ordinates teams and secures manufacturer participation in a race only open to professional drivers. The successful partnership has led to seven GT3 manufactures entering 20 factory-supported cars and drivers in 2017’s edition this November. Almost half the entries are being run by Blancpain GT Series Asia teams (see pink).

  • TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Outlines 2019 Motorsports Activities(E
    February7, 2019 Toyota Motor Corporation GAZOO Racing Company TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Outlines 2019 Motorsports Activities TOYOTA GAZOO Racing is a racing company positioning motorsports activities as the basis of our quest to create ever-better cars. From products developed through these activities to the establishment of the GR Garage, TOYOTA GAZOO Racing’s motorsports activities have been promoted as a comprehensive method of increasing numbers of car fans. At last month’s North American International Auto Show in Detroit, we unveiled the new “Supra,” which is set to become the first global model in the GR series line-up. The new Supra incorporates the knowledge and know-how that TOYOTA GAZOO Racing has accumulated thus far, and has been developed with the goal of enabling customers to fully experience the joy of driving. We have positioned the new Supra as our flagship model and, by feeding back knowledge gained through motorsports activities into the development of new products, we intend to further expand the GR series line-up. In 2018, TOYOTA GAZOO Racing achieved the long-desired goal of winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans and also secured the WRC manufacturers’ title, demonstrating that the challenges we have embarked on are leading to concrete results. However, we will not rest on our laurels. In order to deliver the anticipation and excitement of driving to a wider audience, we will engage in the motorsports activities listed below in 2019. TOYOTA GAZOO Racing will compete in the 2019-2020 WEC season. (The driver line-up will be announced at a later date.)With team line-ups, we will also compete in the Nürburgring 24 Hours Endurance Race and other races in Japan respectively.

Donau, August 2, 2021 – At the fourth round of the GT4 European Series, two Audi customer teams continued their streak of success. The two French teams Saintéloc Racing and Fullmotorsport have the chance to win several European Championship titles with the Audi R8 LMS GT4 this year. Audi R8 LMS GT4 Series of successes in Europe: Two Audi Sport customer teams continue to be on course for titles in the most high-profile European GT4 racing series. At the fourth of six GT4 European Series race weekends at Spa, Saintéloc Racing clearly extended its lead in the Pro-Am classification. In the first race, Gregory Guilvert and Fabien Michal in the Audi R8 LMS GT4 finished third in their class. In the second race, they clinched their fifth victory of the season in difficult conditions on an initially wet track. Guilvert, who started from second place on the grid, initially missed the braking point in the first corner but recovered and took the lead shortly before the pit stops. Teammate Michal defended the lead against attacks by a chaser in the Mercedes-AMG. In the end, the Audi privateer won the Pro-Am class by four tenths of a second. The French driver pairing Guilvert/Michal thus extended its lead in the Pro-Am standings from 50 to 71 points. An Audi team is also in front in the Am classification for pure amateur drivers.

The challenge is, therefore, to gain the best possible result under a difficult environment. YOKOHAMA has worked tirelessly to allow the team to cope with the 62kg weight handicap by developing a new ADVAN Racing tire with a different struc- ture. The rubber company has not gone too far, though. The development tar- get always remains unchanged; the tire should maintain uniform road contact and feature appropriate resis- tance against longitudinal force input.
