  • 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.

  • NISMO Et Michelin Champions Du Super GT – GT500 Avec Ronnie Quintarelli Et Tsugio Matsuda, Sur Nissan GT-R
    INFORMATION MEDIA 16 novembre 2015 Championnat Super GT 250 KM de Motegi NISMO et Michelin Champions du Super GT – GT500 avec Ronnie Quintarelli et Tsugio Matsuda, sur Nissan GT-R Michelin et Nissan Champions du GT500 pour la quatrième fois en cinq saisons Sur la grille de départ des 250 Kilomètres de Motegi (Motegi GT 250Km Race), dernière manche du Championnat Super GT 2015, la NISSAN MOTUL GT-R n°1 de l’équipe NISMO est partie de loin. Les qualifications du samedi s’étaient en effet déroulées sous une pluie battante, ne permettant pas à la la GT-R n°1 de faire mieux que le 12ème temps. Pour le duo Quintarelli/Matsuda, l’objectif du weekend était clair : terminer la course au minimum à la cinquième position, et surtout devant la voiture n°12, qui les précédait au classement des équipes de 3 points (85 points pour la n°12 et 82 points pour la NISSAN GT-R n°1), ainsi que de 2 points au championnat des pilotes (66 points pour Yasuda/De Oliveira et 64 pour Quintarelli/Matsuda). Avant le départ de la course, chez NISMO et son partenaire Michelin Motorsport, les visages étaient tendus, la concentration à son comble. Une victoire en Super GT est autant une question de prestige que de suprématie technique. Dans ce championnat si relevé, les constructeurs nippons sont poussés dans leurs retranchements technologiques, ainsi que les quatre fournisseurs de pneumatiques, tous d’envergure mondiale. Michelin est « l’étranger », celui qui vient d’Europe pour défier les trois manufacturiers locaux. Un défi de taille, un exercice réussi pour la firme française, qui avait déjà remporté 3 titres lors des 4 dernières saisons, le dernier en 2014, déjà avec NISMO et Quintarelli/Matsuda.
