Toyota Gazoo Racing North America (TGRNA) is expanding its presence in sports car racing with the reveal of the all-new GR Corolla TC racecar. Unveiled at the GR Garage in Mooresville, North Carolina, this new track-focused machine is set to elevate Toyota’s sports car ladder in North America, offering a race-ready platform for both enthusiasts and competitive racers.
The GR Corolla TC starts as a production GR Corolla and is extensively upgraded to compete in the 2025 SRO TC America series. It features a 1.6L 3-cylinder turbo engine, an 8-speed GAZOO Racing Direct Automatic Transmission (DAT), and the GR-FOUR All-Wheel-Drive system. Custom upgrades include Alcon 6-piston front and 2-piston rear brakes, MacPherson struts designed by TGRNA, and JRi dual-adjustable shocks. Aerodynamic improvements and Bosch Motorsport electronics manage the drivetrain, power, and ABS.
The GR Corolla TC also boasts essential safety features, including an FIA-approved roll cage, OMP fiberglass seat with a six-point harness, and an electronically activated fire extinguishing system.
Mike Norem, TGRNA’s Customer Racing Manager, emphasized the significance of this new addition: “The GR Corolla was the ideal platform for this series and allows us to continue growing the GR sports car ladder in the United States.”
With the newly combined TC America series for 2025, TGRNA’s GR Corolla TC racecar promises to deliver thrilling wheel-to-wheel racing in a competitive environment. More details, including vehicle specs and pricing, will be released soon.
