Toyota Motorsport proves 55 years of racing is in their blood [w/video]

When you take a look back at some of the most memorable racing moments and classic race cars, the name Toyota seems to come up quite a lot. With Toyota Motorsport celebrating 55 years of racing this year, its no wonder we've seen the passionate Japanese brand produce numerous iconic sports cars (both on and off the track).

Innovation has always been a big part of Toyota's racing philosophy and something they take very seriously. Many of the products and accessories offered by Toyota's popular TRD performance upgrades are developed through vital R&D based on these racing efforts. This allows consumers to enjoy proven and track-tested TRD products on their own vehicles.

The future looks bright for Toyota Motorsport, as they continue to compete in multiple series and develop even more advanced sports cars. The revolutionary new TS030 hybrid race car and rally-ready GT86 continue to capture our imaginations, plus Toyota is also planning a return to British Touring Car Championship competition.
