Customer Motor Sports is motorsport activities that individuals or companies engage in of their own initiative using race or rally cars manufactured and sold by automobile makers. The cars that are sold are designed and outfitted specifically for race or rally motor sports, and as with general-use automobiles, the automakers also provide after-sales services like supplying parts and maintenance and offering advice in their use. However, the automakers do not take the initiative to participate actively in the customers’ actual motorsport activities themselves. That initiative is left up to the users that want to participate in motor sport – in short, the customers.

Until now, Toyota Motor Corp. and TOYOTA GAZOO Racing have supplied the GT3-specification “LEXUS RC F GT3” and the GT4-specification “GR Supra GT4” and “GR Supra GT4 EVO” cars for use in the customers’ race activities. From 2024, Toyota will also supply the Rally2-specification model “GR Yaris Rally2” for customers who want to take on the challenge of taking part in rally competitions.

Under Toyota’s policy of “Making Ever-Better Cars” on a global scale, TOYOTA GAZOO Racing now wants to contribute to the enjoyment of motorsport fans around the world by recognizing the potential of motor sports and the feedback to be gained from them as a means to further develop cars toward that aim of “Making Ever-Better Cars”. And towards this goal, TOYOTA GAZOO Racing is determined to make ever-greater efforts in the field of “Customer Motor Sports”.
