MISSION
TOYOTA’S COMMITMENT TO PUSHING THE LIMITS OF MOTORING
As our global racing division, TOYOTA GAZOO Racing (TGR) is guided by a core philosophy revolves around making "ever-better" cars through participating in motorsports.
This is a mission that’s been long in the running.
In 1952, our founder Kiichiro Toyoda said:
Car racing is more than just entertainment.
GR IN MALAYSIA
Taking its first drive in August 2017 with the TGR Festival, and making the Vios Challenge as the key highlight, TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Malaysia is the only racing street event in the country. It comprises 28 races held in main cities across Peninsular Malaysia, including Kuala Lumpur, Johor Bahru, Penang and Kuala Terengganu.
As one of the country's most anticipated street racing events, the race will continue with Season 6 in February 2023. In the past five seasons, the event gained a total of 10 million live views with more than 300,000 attendees.
In 2018, we expanded our success with the launch of the TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Velocity E-Sports Championship, which has wrapped up a total of five seasons thus far.
We have launched numerous GAZOO Racing products and expanded its GR network across the nation, proving that GR Malaysia is hitting the pedal in the pursuit of street racing passion.
