Soon after the ceremony, this year's postponed Le Mans 24 Hours began with two Toyota Gazoo Racing TS050 Hybrids challenging to win the race for the third successive year.

Those performances were the inspiration for the GR Super Sport, a hypercar with race car pedigree and performance.
The GR Super Sport represents Toyota Gazoo Racing's commitment to use motorsport to make ever-better road cars.
