One of the Petronas Team De Rooy IVECO vehicles with the FPT Industrial logo on the bonnet, representing the Brand's growing commitment to offer the best powertrain assistance The Dakar rally is one of the most extreme competitions in the world, but it is not for the fainthearted: it requires passion, technology and endurance, and the FPT Industrial Cursor 13 has all of these features.

  • 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.

  • PRODUCTION VEHICLE CATEGORY WILL BE a COMPETITIVE STAR-STUDDED AFFAIR at BRONKHORSTSPRUIT 400 the Production Vehicle Category At
    Media Information PRODUCTION VEHICLE CATEGORY WILL BE A COMPETITIVE STAR-STUDDED AFFAIR AT BRONKHORSTSPRUIT 400 The Production Vehicle category at the Bronkhorstspruit 400, the fourth round of the South African National Cross Country Series (SACCS) that takes place on 2 and 3 August, will be a star-studded affair as well-known motorsport personalities make their debut in the series while a few regulars will be playing musical chairs at the event. The 2019 season reached the halfway mark just over a month ago with the Toyota Desert Race 1000 in Botswana and after three days of racing and a thousand kilometres later, the standings looked somewhat different than before the gruelling marathon event. With only three events remaining, there is not much time left to claim as many points as possible towards the various championship titles. Add to that the unknown factor of new blood at the Bronkhorstspruit 400, an exciting 400 kilometres of racing can be expected. It was quite a dramatic and emotional overall TDR 1000 victory for Chris Visser and Philip Herselman (Atlas Copco Toyota) as it was Herselman’s final event before relocating to Singapore. Visser, the 2010 Overall Production Vehicle Champion and Herselman teamed up during the 2016 season and winning in Botswana was quite a memorable farewell gift. Herselman will be replaced by the quadruple Special Vehicle Navigator’s champion, Danie Stassen who read the notes for Richard Leeke Jnr in recent events. Stassen won his championship titles alongside Evan Hutchison in a BAT in 2012 and 2013 and then again in 2015 and 2016.

The Al Duhail striker, now the tournament’s leading scorer with five goals in two games, shone as his partner- ship with Akram Afif down the left destroyed the DPR Ko- rean defence repeatedly while Boualem Khoukhi and Ab- delkarim Hassan also put their names on the scoresheet. Victory means Sanchez’s side have secured themselves a top two finish in the group and their win also ensures Saudi Arabia will progress to the last 16. The teams face off on Thursday to determine who will top the group, with Qatar’s huge win meaning a draw in Abu Dhabi will be enough to take pole position. Qatar’s Abdelkarim Hassan (No. 3) is swarmed by teammates after he scored in the 2019 AFC Asian Cup Group E match against North Korea After labouring in the at the Khalifa Bin Zayed Stadium in Al Ain, UAE, on Sunday.
