Mazda welcomes Morizo to compete in the "Media Roadster 4 Hours Endurance Race" they are hosting.
In a remarkable show of camaraderie, Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda took part in the Mazda-backed "Media Roadster 4 Hours Endurance Race" on Saturday, September 7. This special event, hosted by Mazda to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the race, marked a significant milestone in the long-standing relationship between the two companies, particularly in the context of Mazda's Roadster.
The race, which started in 1989, is exclusive and limited to motor journalists who report on vehicles for various media outlets. Toyota Times, an owned media channel that covers Toyota's activities and news, was on-site to cover Akio Toyoda driving a Mazda Roadster in the race.
Akio Toyoda's participation in the race was a nod to a phrase commonly used by Mazda in Japan, and a show of his sincere gratitude to all the members of Mazda. It was also a rare occasion for a Toyota executive to drive a Mazda vehicle, as Akio Toyoda had long wanted to join the race but refrained due to his affiliation with a different company.
The person who accompanied Akio Toyoda during the race for the Toyota Times is not publicly known. The reporting and coverage for the Toyota Times is usually done anonymously, in the name of the entire team.
The Mazda-backed race has a rich history, with the birth of Mazda's Roadster in 1989. The event served as a platform to reinforce the camaraderie between Akio Toyoda and the Mazda team, and highlighted the long-standing relationship between the two companies.
Akio Toyoda wore his Morizo uniform during the race, a symbol of his passion for cars and racing. His goal for the race was simply to be a driver, a testament to his love for the sport.
For those interested in learning more, the official Toyota Times website and YouTube channel are good starting points, although the reporters and editors are usually not named explicitly. If you are looking for specific information, it may be best to make a direct inquiry to Toyota through their official contact channel.
