The “Super Taikyu” Philosophy Super Taikyu 2020 Sporting Regulatiolationn & Technical Regulation The “Super Taikyu” Philosophy In 1991, the Super Taikyu Race (“S-Tai”) began as a participant-focussed competition for mass-produced cars. It is the biggest race of its kind in Japan. This is a team sport in which both professional drivers and amateurs (for whom racing is an essential part of their lives) work together to nurture and develop both themselves and their sport. The atmosphere at Super Taikyu is like a gathering of car-mad, motorsport- loving friends. Through these meetings we hope personal bonds will be deepened, that participants will encourage each other while competing fairly in a demonstration of good sportsmanship. In other words, Play Fair and Compete Hard! We also strive to develop the sport of racing itself through the improvement of technologies in an environmentally-conscious way. Fair competition with safety as a priority is paramount, but it should not all be about the struggle for rank. We want to create an enriching experience for all who take part. Nothing puts your mettle to the test like continuous, personal challenge. We also aim to contribute to the advancement of Japan’s automobile industry and motorsports market through the development and sales of auto equipment and parts developed with Super Taikyu participants’ know-how and experience. 1 It is our hope that everyone associated with Super Taikyu share and appreciate this philosophy. Let us put our stamp on motorsports and join hands in passing along to the next generation an even richer racing tradition.Super Taikyu 2020 Sporting Regulation Pirelli Super Taikyu Series 2020 is held in accordance with the Japan Automobile Federation (JAF) Domestic Sporting Code and the supplementary provisions comply with the FIA International Sporting Code and its supplementary provisions as well as the Sporting Regulation, Technical Regulation published by the Super Taikyu Organization (STO), and the supplementary regulations published in each round.

  • MEDIA INFORMATION 2015 Japanese Championship SUPER FORMULA
    MEDIA INFORMATION July 14, 2015 Japan Race Promotion Inc. July 18 (Saturday) – July 19 (Sunday) 2015 Japanese Championship SUPER FORMULA Round 3 : Fuji Speedway Japan Race Promotion Inc. (President: Hiroshi Shirai, Head office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Japan) today announced details of the “2015 Japanese Championship SUPER FORMULA, Round 3 Fuji Speedway,” scheduled to take place on July 18–19 at the Fuji Speedway Circuit (length = 4.563km) in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. The 2015 Japanese Championship is the only internationally accredited driver championship series in Asia, run over seven rounds and six circuits across Japan. Points accumulated by drivers during the season determine the final rankings. A total of 11 teams (entrants) and 19 drivers (cars) have entered this year’s Japanese Championship. Spectators have the chance to enjoy a domestic competition with world-class levels of racing, featuring seven top drivers from six countries (UK, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Brazil and India), driving cars with the same cornering speeds as the top Formula 1 racing cars. Fuji Speedway is a challenging course with a long back straight that allows drivers to reach speeds of more than 310km. The course also has high-speed corners that will test the limits of the race cars and a double apex corner in the final section that requires advanced driving technique. Drivers, cars and tires will also be affected by the high temperatures at this time of year. On what is likely to be a hot day, the course will put the concentration, stamina and mental strength of drivers to the test and make conditions tough for the turbo-charged engines, which generate much more heat than naturally aspirated engines.

    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.
