At the Toyota Gazoo Racing Festival, over 180 members of the Toyota dealer network and some media partners were given the chance to experience the essence of Toyota Gazoo Racing.

Driven by their goal of pushing the limits for better, the GR Festival 2022 is a celebration of the growing love and passion for motorsports in the Philippines. The GR Festival aims to ignite the racer within everyone, with or without prior experience in racing.

Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) Chairman Alfred V. Ty and President Atsuhiro Okamoto led some members of Toyota’s dealership network for an experience drive at the racetrack. This activity is part of TMP’s aggressive drive to promote motorsports in the country and to empower Toyota dealers in the Philippines to deliver to their customers the “thrill and joy of driving” especially at this time when establishments and businesses are welcoming back visitors and patrons.

Participants were given the opportunity to undergo advanced driving trainings with champion race car drivers from Toyota Gazoo Racing Academy. Participant’s track activities include braking and timed slalom, quarte rmile timed lap, follow the leader, and lucky participants were also able to experience shot gun rides with Toyota Gazoo Racing ambassador Marlon Stockinger.

“We really love the energy here at the GR Festival, fueled by our shared love for cars, passion for the thrill and joy of driving, and driven by our common goal to promote motorsports in the country,” said TMP President Atsuhiro Okamoto. “In a way, this is our initiation in staging a very participatory and experiential racing event, and soon, we’d like to open more activities like this for the public to fully live and appreciate the Toyota Gazoo Racing brand.”

The participation of dealer partners from all over the country is also very important, since this first-hand experience in testing the cars under the harsh conditions of motorsports exhibits our success in enabling our network to have a deeper and more meaningful understanding of Toyota’s “ever-better cars”.

“This event enabled us and our team members to experience firsthand the fun in driving our vehicles and be able to test its full potential on the racetrack.” Mr. Cosco Oben of Toyota Balintawak shared about his first GR Festival. “It leaves us with the statement that indeed our vehicles are really fun to drive again and it’s easier to share this to our clients because we had first-hand experience in driving our GR cars on the track.”

Toyota Gazoo Racing is part of TMP’s aggressive drive to promote motorsports in the country and deliver the “thrill and joy of driving”, uplifting Toyota’s image to more than just a practical brand.
