  • 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.

  • TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Przedstawia Pełny Skład Zespołu Kierowców W Sezonie FIA WEC 2017
    28 marca 2017 TOYOTA GAZOO Racing przedstawia pełny skład zespołu kierowców w sezonie FIA WEC 2017 TOYOTA GAZOO Racing podała listę kierowców startujących w sezonie 2017 w serii FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC). Yuji Kunimoto i Nicolas Lapierre dołączą do zespołu w wyścigach na torze Spa-Francorchamps i w Le Mans. Yuji Kunimoto i Nicolas Lapierre poprowadzą Toyotę TS050 Hybrid #9 razem ze Stéphane’em Sarrazinem w 2. i 3. eliminacjach rozpoczynającego się sezonu FIA WEC. 26-letni Yuji Kunimoto ma bogate doświadczenie w wyścigach długodystansowych po 8 sezonach w serii Super GT. W ubiegłym roku kierowca pokonał wielu słynnych zawodników, wygrywając japońskie mistrzostwa Super Formula, przy jednoczesnym udziale w serii Super GT. Nicolas Lapierre należał do zespołu Toyoty w serii FIA World Endurance Championship w latach 2012–2014. Lapierre wygrywał z Toyotą pierwsze wyścigi WEC, po czym zdobył mocną pozycję jednego z najlepszych kierowców LMP2, dwukrotnie wygrywając w tej klasie w 24-godzinnym wyścigu w Le Mans oraz zostając mistrzem świata kierowców FIA WEC 2016 roku. „To dla mnie spełnienie marzeń. Nie wyobrażałem sobie, że pewnego dnia będę mógł dołączyć do zespołu takiego jak TOYOTA GAZOO Racing w wyścigu Le Mans, dlatego jestem zdeterminowany, by jak najlepiej skorzystać z tej szansy. Podobały mi się pierwsze testy za kierownicą TS050 Hybrid, który jest naprawdę imponującym samochodem. Klasa LMP1 i wyścigi długodystansowe w Europie to dla mnie nowość, więc ciężko pracuję, żeby jak najwięcej się nauczyć od kolegów. Jestem pewien, że wiele zyskam dzięki Stéphane’owi i Strona 1 z 5 Nicolasowi, którzy są bardzo doświadczeni i bardzo szybcy” – podzielił się wrażeniami Yuji Kunimoto.

    Toyota Motor Corporation Toyota Outlines Its Motorsports Activities for 2014 Toyota City, Japan, January 30, 2014—Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) announces that its community-based motorsports activities through Lexus Racing and Toyota Racing—aimed to bring more joy to more people through automobiles—will continue in various locations around the world in 2014.

  • SF 2017 Fuji Round3(E)
    MEDIA INFORMATION June 29, 2017 Japan Race Promotion Inc. Round 3 : July 8 (Saturday) –July 9 (Sunday) 2017 Japanese SUPER FORMULA Championship: Fuji Speedway Japan Race Promotion Inc. (President: Akira Kurashita, Head office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Japan) today announced details of Round 3 of the 2017 Japanese SUPER FORMULA Championship Series, scheduled to take place on July 8–9 at Fuji Speedway (length = 4.563 km) in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. Round 3 will feature an official qualifying session based on a knock-out format, followed by a championship race of 55 laps (250.965 km). Fuji Speedway has Japan’s longest back straight, making it the ideal spot to enjoy head-to-head battles. To achieve the highest possible speeds, race cars need to reduce downforce and drag, but the sequence of corners in the back half of the course means drivers want more downforce to negotiate turns. Teams that set up their race cars to skillfully balance that contradiction stand a good chance of victory. After Round 1 at Suzuka and the two races in Round 2 at Okayama, Andre Lotterer (VANTELIN TEAM TOM’S), Kazuki Nakajima (VANTELIN TEAM TOM’S) and Yuhi Sekiguchi (ITOCHU ENEX TEAM IMPUL) each have one win under their belts. Naoki Yamamoto (TEAM MUGEN) and Hiroaki Ishiura (P.MU/CERUMO · INGING) also gained points in all of the first three races. Those five drivers currently occupy the top positions in the standings. All of this year’s rookies have also grabbed points, including a podium finish at Okayama for Nick Cassidy (KONDO RACING), suggesting there is more to come from the new drivers in the second half of the SUPER FORMULA season.

  • Yokohama Rubber's Support for Motorsports in 2021
    March 24, 2021 Contact: For immediate release Corporate Planning Department Corporate Communications Section Phone: 81-3-5400-4531 Fax: 81-3-5400-4570 Yokohama Rubber’s Support for Motorsports in 2021 Tokyo—The Yokohama Rubber Co., Ltd., today announced its plans for supporting motorsports events in 2021. The consumer tire strategy in our recently announced new medium-term management plan, Yokohama Transformation 2023 (YX2023), aims to maximize the sales ratios of high-value-added YOKOHAMA tire brands, namely the global flagship ADVAN brand, the GEOLANDAR brand of tires for SUVs and pickup trucks, and various winter tires. YX2023 positions participation in motorsports activities as crucial to our effort to develop new tire technologies that will further strengthen the ADVAN and GEOLANDAR brands. Yokohama Rubber therefore will again participate in a wide variety of motorsports events in Japan and around the globe, from top-category races to grassroots races. Event reports and results will be posted on Yokohama Rubber’s motorsports website as well various SNS specializing in motorsports topics. This release briefly introduces some of the main events Yokohama Rubber will be participating in this year. ■ GT/Touring Car Races <SUPER GT> SUPER GT races are contested in two classes, GT500 and GT300. GT500 is dominated by works teams from major automakers while GT300 teams tend to be more varied and individualistic. GT500 machines must meet certain specifications. GT300 races, however, are open to a variety of cars made in Japan and overseas. The GT300 machines can broadly be divided into three types: (1) automakers’ production cars that meet the international FIA GT3 specifications, (2) unique JAF-GT machines, and (3) the so-called “Mother Chassis" group of machines.
