History
Toyota has a long and successful history in motorsports, beginning in the 1950s with their entry into Japanese domestic racing. Their racing efforts gained international attention with the launch of Toyota's rally program in the 1970s, which saw success in the World Rally Championship (WRC).
In the 1980s, Toyota became a prominent sponsor of the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach, a key event in IndyCar racing. The company also started developing high-performance cars, like the Toyota Celica and Toyota Supra, which became staples in both motorsports and car culture.
By the 1990s, Toyota expanded into Formula 1, debuting in 2002 with their own team. They achieved moderate success but left F1 in 2009. Toyota also found success in endurance racing, particularly with the 24 Hours of Le Mans, where their TS050 Hybrid cars won multiple titles in the 2010s.
Today, Toyota is a dominant force in road course, rallying, and NASCAR, while pushing innovation with hybrid and electric technologies in motorsports.
