Message from Hiroki Nakajima (Executive Vice President) after the 6 Hours of Fuji victory

Message from Hiroki "Giano" Nakajima (Executive Vice President)

We achieved victory at our home race, the 6 Hours of Fuji.

To all the fans who fought alongside us.

To everyone who came to the circuit and continued supporting us until the very end.

And to everyone around the world who cheered for us.

Thank you very much.

First, I would like to say something to our drivers and to everyone in the team.

Congratulations on this victory. And thank you, truly.

Winning our home race is never easy.

With so many fans watching, you turned expectations into strength, overcame immense pressure, and delivered the result. I am truly proud of what you achieved.

Of course, I am happy that we won.

But what makes me even happier, and prouder, is the process that led to this result.

With "For the Engineering Race" in our hearts, every individual continued to refine their skills, learn from past failures, communicate openly, support one another, and build a stronger team.

The engineers continued racking their brains until the very end.

The mechanics continued believing in the car and maintaining it in the best possible condition.

The strategy team made courageous decisions in rapidly changing circumstances.

And the drivers continued pushing beyond their limits, believing in both their team-mates and the car.

No one wins a race alone.

Each person fulfilled their role, trusted one another, supported each other, and fought until the very end. That is why we were able to achieve this victory.

This was not a victory earned through speed alone.

It was a victory earned through human effort.

And today, we stood on the top step of the podium for the third time this season.

Rather than being a one-off success, it feels like everything we have built together is beginning to turn into genuine strength.

After Le Mans, I said that "the team has changed".

Morizo-san has continued to pursue ever-better car-making through motorsports, nurtured team-mates who embrace challenges, and created an environment where those team-mates can fully demonstrate their abilities.

Because of that, we have been able to believe in our own path and move forward with confidence.

Presenting the Le Mans winner's trophy to Morizo-san was the moment we fulfilled a promise.

However, that trophy was never the finish line.

It represents the resolve of our engineers.

The hard work of the team-mates who sweated on the front lines.

And the passion of every team member who believed in our potential and continued to take on challenges.

To refine our technology.

To trust our team-mates.

And to continue challenging ourselves in the pursuit of becoming the best in the world.

That is TOYOTA RACING.

Thank you for your continued support of TOYOTA RACING.
