Season 4 of Toyota Gazoo Racing Malaysia

Returning and will be streaming live at the Sepang International Circuit on March 27 and 28, 2021 is the Season 4 and Round 1 of Toyota Gazoo Racing Festival.

Kicking the season off will be Round 1 of the highly anticipated Vios Challenge. The live streamed event of the race weekend will feature three qualifying sessions, six exciting individual races, pit lane insights, interviews with racers and other exciting contents.

UMW Toyota Motor’s deputy chairman and Toyota Gazoo Racing Malaysia’s chief motorsport officer Akio Takeyama said, “The TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Festival has primarily been about bringing motorsports to the masses. This focus has not changed and to a great extent, we have successfully accomplished this by bringing the races to so many different locations since 2017. The opportunity to live stream the carnival and an entire race weekend would mean reaching out to an even larger and wider audience, including racing fans outside of Malaysia. The challenge before us today is to bring the energy and atmosphere of the TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Festival online.”

Overall, Season 4 TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Festival will feature three unique racing series throughout the year, offering 11 spectacular races.

Highlights being the four classes of racing which are the Rookie Class featuring six new graduates of the Gazoo Racing Young Talent Development Program, the Promotional Class featuring local celebrities, the Sporting Class for amateur drivers and the Super Sporting Class for elite and professional drivers.

“This Rookie Class is another exciting new element in Season 4, and something that all of us at Toyota are looking forward to seeing. It is the result of several months of training and you will be surprised at how well these young drivers have adapted to saloon car racing. This is another small way of giving back to the racing community in Malaysia, opening the door for talented drivers to progress up the racing ladder,” he further added.

Moreover, in this upcoming season 4, Gazoo Racing will also feature a debut of the GAZOO Racing Vios Sprint Cup and the GAZOO Racing Enduro Cup which will consist of two rounds and four races and the latter will be run in conjunction with the annual Sepang 1000km Endurance Race.

Season 4 Toyota Gazoo Racing Festival will be held as a closed door event as to conform to the standard operating procedures (SOPs) of the pandemic, hence it is planned to be the biggest live streamed racing carnival in Malaysia, aired over two days.

All the action of Round 1 will be broadcast live on the UMW Toyota Motor Sdn Bhd website at toyota.com.my and on the Toyota Malaysia and Toyota Gazoo Racing Malaysia Facebook pages at toyota.com.my/tgrmalaysia/.
