March 15, 2019
TOYOTA GAZOO Racing (TGR) announces that it will enter e-motorsports with the launch of GR Supra GT Cup for PlayStationĀ®ļ¼14 (PS4Ā®). The Gran Turismo Sport that is the first global one-make race, starts in April 2019. As part of our e-motorsports activities, we also will become an official partner of the FIA-certified Gran Turismo Championships, an online championship for the Gran Turismo real driving simulator series that is hosted in partnership with the FIA (the FĆ©dĆ©ration Internationale de l'Automobile).
From this year, by involving e-motorsports as one of the pillars of TGR motorsports activities, we are actively working to make motorsports and sport cars more accessible, and enjoyable across generations and around the world. Then, we hope to connect various findings obtained through e-motorsports to āmaking ever-better carsā in the future.

Iāve been involved in GT Academy and without a steering wheel itās impossible to get those last few seconds. Either way all I need is a date and Iāll go for it, itās time for me to get in the GT World.Supra GT Cup
(Toyota and GR have seen the huge success of NISSAN's nismo GT Academy that took the best GT-R drivers on Gran Turismo and recruited them with amazing results in Blancpain GT / GT3 / Super GT programs and will probably do something similar)
Z4 mod in FH4?I hope I'm wrong, but this seems to seal the fate of no more Toyotas in Forza for a while. I keep hoping for a new Toyota DLC, but they seem to just care about GT at this point.
