Toyota Gazoo Racing puts e-motorsport at full throttle: The GR Supra GT Cup is the first global brand competition for the PlayStation®4. Gran Turismo Sport looks for the fastest driver on the console.
Toyota Gazoo Racing also wants to inspire future generations for motorsport and has therefore begun to integrate e-motorsport in their own activities. Findings from the virtual world should be incorporated into the reality: The feedback from the Gran Turismo drivers, for example, not only influence the virtual model, but will also be taken into account in real development over the next few years.
