Ready for our toughest test yet
After securing an impressive fifth consecutive Drivers’ and Manufacturers’ Championship double, TOYOTA GAZOO Racing is renewed and ready to defend its FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) titles in 2024, facing a host of new Hypercar challengers. After an epic battle at this year’s Le Mans 24 Hours that saw them secure a hard-earned podium finish, the team is more determined than ever to show its fighting spirit in the remaining rounds of the 2024 season.
The HYBRID Hypercar era
Led by Team Principal Kamui Kobayashi, the already-decorated TGR team enters its 12th season in the World Endurance Championship, where it continues to push the boundaries of Hybrid Electric technology with the GR010 HYBRID.

Fitted with RACING HYBRID technology that has been advanced during WEC competition, our 2024 challenger has been optimised for even greater reliability and pit stop efficiency.
