All Contracts and series agreements are via Toyota Racing Management. Quotes Quotes from industry professionals
“I find The Toyota TRS series the best to offer young drivers during their career path. I have been a long-term believer and supporter of the series and in recent years, I suggested to Gerhard (Berger) to send his nephew, Lucas Auer and Nelson (Piquet) to send his son Pedro out to compete. After explaining the overall learning to be gained from 15 races over a short period of 5 weeks of the series, they had no hesitation and sending them out to compete.
MTEC has a long history of running and developing drivers in the TRS series and is well supported with highly rated engineers and mechanics."
Greg (Peewee) Siddle – Driver manager Quotes Quotes from industry professionals
“After three consecutive seasons of working in the Toyota Racing Series it leaves me in no doubt of the incredible level of competition that the five weeks of racing provide. Mentally and physically it is gruelling for both driver and team, the benefits however and tangible and long lasting.
The MTEC team run by Bruin Beasley are certainly considered as one of the most competitive and well organised on the TRS grid, not only does the team have a crop of totally professional engineers and mechanics it has to be considered the team run by racers for racers!
This shows in every aspect of the team, especially the great atmosphere within the MTEC pit.”
Rod Macleod - Pro driver, Driver Mentor/Coach. Speed Group USA Quotes Quotes from industry professionals
“The Toyota Racing Series has become one of the most important experiences worldwide for the development of young drivers. The level of competition is 2nd to none and the intense five weeks sees most drivers mature from boys to young independent men.
Bruin at Mtec runs one of the most competitive teams with vastly experience personnel from major European champions like GP2, World Series Formula V8, Euro cup and FIA Formula Three.”
