Will we see one of these stunning GR Supra GT4’s competing on our tracks next year in either the North or South Island Endurance Series? TOYOTA GAZOO Racing have confirmed that it will launch the GR Supra GT4, a race car for customer teams, in 2020.
Having unveiled the GR Supra GT4 Concept earlier this year at the Geneva International Motor Show, and competed in the 24 Hours of Nurburgring, customer response has been overwhelmingly positive.
The GT4 is based on the GR Supra, developed and produced by Toyota Motorsport GmbH. The GT4 category is growing in popularity with private race teams around the world due to its low cost and ease of entry.
GT4 cars are eligible to participate in a variety of races across the globe, including the Super Taikyu Series in Japan, the GT4 European Series and the VLN Endurance Championship Nürburgring in Europe, and the Michelin Pilot Challenge Series in the U.S.
The GR Supra already participates in the NASCAR Xfinity Series in North America and, from 2020, is scheduled to compete in the Super GT GT500 Class in Japan. The arrival of the GR Supra GT4 will provide motorsports fans with the joy of watching the GR Supra compete in circuits around the world.
Details regarding the specifications of the GR Supra GT4, including its selling price, sales area and release date, are scheduled to be announced later this year.
