WRC/WEC –
TOYOTA GAZOO Racing (TGR) has announced a new livery for its vehicles competing in the FIA World Rally Championship and FIA World Endurance Championship for the 2024 season.
There are two concepts behind the all-new matte black livery of the GR YARIS Rally1 HYBRID and GR010 HYBRID that will compete in their respective FIA World Championships. One of the concepts is “speed”, which represents our “hate to lose”.
The other is “prototype”. This means creating better cars and continually developing them based on motorsports. The new livery will be used not only in WRC and WEC, but also in other competitions in which TOYOTA GAZOO Racing participates.
