Dear colleagues, Please find below a press release issued today by TOYOTA Motor Corporation relating to our WRC project: Tommi Mäkinen Leads Toyota GAZOO RacingΆs WRC Return in 2017 Toyota City, Japan, July 7, 2015—Toyota GAZOO Racing has determined its team structure leading up to ToyotaΆs return to the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) in 2017. Toyota President Akio Toyoda will serve as team chairman while Tommi Mäkinen*, a celebrated WRC veteran, will be offering his expertise as team principal. With comprehensive oversight from Mäkinen, who holds four driversΆ titles over his 18-year WRC career, the team will strengthen its vehicle development capabilities and work toward 2017. Team name Toyota GAZOO Racing Vehicle Yaris WRC (length: 3910 mm; width: 1820 mm) Team chairman Akio Toyoda Team principal Tommi Mäkinen Message from Team Chairman Akio Toyoda Whenever IΆm behind the wheel, I always think: “it is the road that makes the car.” For Toyota to make ever-better cars, we have to get a feel for all the kinds of roads that are out there. Rallying requires us to drive on the very roads our customers use every single day, and I believe it is the perfect training activity, ultimately helping us to strengthen our products. As the pinnacle of rallying, WRC is the best way to experience roads all over the world—thatΆs why Toyota is returning to the championship. And I am very happy and excited to have Tommi Mäkinen heading up our WRC team. I first met Tommi in 2013. At that time he was my instructor, helping me improve my driving technique. In the end, he taught me a lot more; he showed me the appeal of rallying and the relationship between vehicle development and rallying. Tommi has abundant experience and fresh ideas for vehicle development, both of which will be valuable assets to us. After talking to Tommi, I felt: “I want to work with him; I want him to help us make better cars,” and thatΆs how I came to ask for his support with this project. With Tommi behind us, Toyota will forge ahead with our return to WRC and also our efforts to make ever-better cars. Rallying allows both participants and spectators to feel the enjoyment of cars, and it encourages car manufacturers to hone their skills. We have been away from WRC for a long time as a manufacturer. I have huge respect for the manufacturers, drivers, team members, and fans that make this wonderful competition what it is, and IΆm thrilled to bring Toyota back to WRC. Please join me in supporting Toyota GAZOO Racing. Akio Toyoda |
