2012 marks 55 years of Toyota's participation in motorsports. To celebrate the milestone and to also highlight the Toyota TS030 hybrid LMP1 race car, the Japanese automaker has just released a short video remembering the brand's past success on the track.
Recounting its efforts in Formula 1, endurance racing, and rally, Toyota's latest tribute video not only takes you along for the ride, but an interesting corresponding statement also hints at Toyota's work ahead.
From a short passage in Toyota's official blog, "Later this year, we'll bring you an exclusive look inside our European motorsport base, including a look at some of the exciting new motorsport projects coming out of TMG such as the Toyota GT86 Race Edition and Toyota Yaris R1A rally car."
In fact, a tweet from Toyota Europe even hinted for Toyota fans to keep an eye out for a major announcement to be made next week.
While this is all very exciting, substantial information regarding the upcoming announcement remains pretty vague. However, if the said "announcement" is in fact the unveiling of a racing GT86, prepare yourselves for an incoming international media frenzy and an overload of galleries and press releases.
For now, check out the cool video from Toyota TMG and enjoy the first official images of the Yaris R1A rally car.
