DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — The list of automotive partners in IMSA grew to an impressive 18 with confirmation that Toyota will compete in the 2021 IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge season. Selected customers will race the Toyota GR Supra GT4 across the 10-event schedule in the first of a multiyear partnership between the manufacturer and IMSA. “While this new program marks Toyota’s first foray into the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge, Toyota’s IMSA history is stellar,” said IMSA President John Doonan. The GR Supra GT4 to be used in Pilot Challenge competition is based on the GR Supra, Toyota Gazoo Racing’s first global model from the Toyota Gazoo Racing Customer Racing Program. Toyota Racing Development U.S.A., Inc., will support Supra GT4 customers at all Pilot Challenge races with a systems engineer and spares truck. “We are really excited to be part of the new GR Supra GT4 racing program in IMSA next season,” Riley said.
