TLC commences motorsport activities for the 2021 season

Issue #15:April 2, 2021

Aiming to win a 9th consecutive victory in the production car category at Dakar 2022, TLC has already started their rally activities for 2021.

Continuing from last year, activities are still taking place during the ongoing COVID-19 situation. Preventing the spread of infection is a requirement in everything we do. This year, we are using both real-world and online systems with the aim to promote interaction with our car fans through ever-better cars and motorsports activities.

For our initial 2021 team activities, we are planning to hold development testing for Dakar Rally 2022 on a domestic off-road circuit at the end of April. At the testing, a new mechanic who wants to debut in the 2022 rally will be joining us, and we will start training him as a rally mechanic.

We are considering live streaming for the first time where you can see the test. So, this will also be an opportunity to test live streaming. In the future, we would like people to experience the excitement of the rally site in the most immersive way possible and give everyone a chance to interact with the drivers, navigators, and the whole team.
(Details about the live broadcast will be made available separately as information becomes available.) *The live streaming will be in Japanese.

This year also marks the Land Cruiser’s 70th anniversary. The whole team will be doing their best to write a new page in the history of the Land Cruiser, together with all our fans. So, we humbly ask for your continued support and encouragement, which is always highly appreciated.
