You can't fault their effort and testing schedule, it sounds like they'll be testing pretty much non stop with 3 cars for the rest of the season simultaneously. Whether the cars are any good is the question though...

Not 100% sure but it's what Toyota are trying to turn into a performance brand, I believe. They renamed all their works motorsport activities last year to be under this banner, including their Le Mans and Nurburgring 24 (which I'm currently on my way to) efforts.

Japanese forum friends could be more helpful explaining what’s Gazoo, as probably there’s nothing like it in Europe. Apparently Gazoo it's much more than a simple brand. It’s a powerful tool used as e-marketing and social media platform for Toyota group makes and activities. It was developed by Mr. Toyoda before becoming the group President and Gazoo racing activities started steadily, surely motivated by Akio’s strong passion for motorsport. At the beginning of 2015 all major Toyota's motorsport activities, previously spread in many structures, were centralized in a new formation called Toyota Gazoo Racing, headed by Toyoda.

I wonder what made the noise found in this video so distinctive - something broken? Or an idea that was dumped after a test? https://youtu.be/Y3YUhUApXv4

To me it's just some wrong settings in the audio recording of the camera... may it be?
