The Bandar Malaysia track is one of the fastest and longest ever constructed for the series. It features 20 corners and two long straights, the longest being 600 meters. It sets the stage for fastest street racing action so far in three seasons of the Toyota Gazoo Racing Festival. Higher speeds bring higher risks and that makes for an entertaining spectacle. For those unfamiliar with the Vios Racing Challenge, there are three categories: Sporting Class, Super Sporting Class, and Promotional Clas

Toyota has quietly registered the GR Hilux name in Australia, hinting that the company could be injecting its Gazoo Racing goodness into the Hilux. While Australia is no stranger to high-performance pick-up trucks (much of the Ford Ranger Raptor’s development work was done in Australia), could the GR Hilux find its way to Malaysia? After all, Toyota Malaysia is promoting the Gazoo Racing brand aggressively, which started with the Toyota Gazoo Racing (TGR) Racing Festival back in 2017. Then there

Gazoo Racing expands their portfolio yet again with the unveiling of the Toyota C-HR GR Sport. But bad news enthusiasts, because this car is only available in JDM-spec variant and only sold in Japan.

The multi-piece kit is relatively simple - up front, the touches include a set of fog lamp garnishes, a front spoiler, and a grille garnish. Along the sides, it's beefed-up by a set of gloss-black overfenders, new wheels, and striping. The back looks pretty untouched, and like most other Modellista kit, no performance modifications wer

The Toyota GR Supra is now here, priced from RM 568,000. Any discussion about the Toyota GR Supra will inevitably be overshadowed by debates about whether this BMW-Toyota jointly developed model can be a true successor to carry the legendary Supra nameplate, which is a shame because it takes the attention away from something that’s very important to anyone who cares about the brand that makes the Toyota GR Supra. The latest A90 generation Supra isn’t called the Toyota Supra but Toyota GR Supra.

Toyota and Subaru have just announced that they will unveil a new co-developed model in Japan on 5-April 2021. What could it be? Since Toyota Gazoo Racing is mentioned in the joint statement, we are more inclined to believe that it refers to the Toyota GR 86. Remember that although the Subaru BRZ has made its global debut in the US, the model has yet to be launched in Japan, and the Subaru BRZ’s twin the Toyota 86, which will be re-designated as the Toyota GR 86 in the same vein as GR Yaris, has
