The 5 Continents Drive Project first started with “Employee Driving Project in Australia” in 2014, it was continued to in North America in 2015. Under the umbrella of “TOYOTA GAZOO Racing”, which has the philosophy of motor sports activity as its base, TOYOTA employees themselves drive cars on rough roads of the world and through the experience, which could not be achieved through regular test course driving, strive toward “Making Better Cars” and “Developing Human Resources”. With the milestone of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, we will continue this activity.
