Toyota Korea announced on the 26th that it successfully concluded the owner-participation motorsports program, 'TGR Racing Class with Super Race,' held for Toyota and Lexus owners at Everland Speedway in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, on the 24th.

The event was designed to allow owners to directly experience the driving pleasure pursued by Toyota Gazoo Racing (TGR), and it provides support for both race viewing and circuit driving at actual motorsports venues through close cooperation with Super Race. This year's event saw participation from a total of 28 teams, including 20 GR86 owner teams, four RAV4 GR SPORT owner teams, and four Lexus owner teams, with a total of 42 people present including companions. In particular, this year has received positive evaluations for significantly expanding participation to include RAV4 GR SPORT owners, thereby broadening the scope of brand experience from a focus on sports cars to an SUV lineup. Such diverse programs are making significant contributions to the popularization and cultural diffusion of domestic motorsports.

Actively taking into account that more than half of all participants were beginners entering motorsports for the first time, Toyota Korea established a thorough step-by-step educational program so that even beginners could safely enjoy circuit driving. After completing driving theory and rigorous safety training, participants directly watched the '2026 One Super Race Championship' race. Subsequently, under the meticulous guidance of professional instructors, they completed practical driving programs involving actual circuit driving in their own vehicles, including following laps and lead-and-follow exercises, fully enjoying the dynamic appeal of motorsports.

Kang Dae-hwan, Vice President of Toyota Korea, stated that the scope was expanded to invite not only sports car owners but also RAV4 GR SPORT owners with a motorsports sensibility, allowing them to directly experience circuit driving. He further emphasized the policy of continuously expanding opportunities for customers to get closer to and communicate about motorsports through Toyota's unique owner experience programs in the future.
