TGR is Toyota’s motorsports arm responsible for product research and development through various real-world initiatives, product testing, and esports racing events. With a rapidly expanding esports platform, TGR has increased its focus on engaging with motorsports enthusiasts from around the world through a series of tournaments designed to garner data and feedback, with the aim of ultimately developing better cars.

Last year, TGR launched the inaugural GR Supra GT Cup, a global racing championship series on Gran Turismo Sport exclusively on the PS4. More than 800,000 players purchased the GR Supra. The goal was to collect data on the GR Supra product line through feedback and evaluation from top drivers, to be used to enhance actual GR Supra development.
