This is your first look at the 2024 Toyota GR Corolla facelift, which was revealed over the weekend. The face just jumps out at you, doesn't it? As usual, there's good reason for it. Toyota says the larger ducting helps with aerodynamics and cooling, which now includes a smaller, second radiator to better cool the bulging 1.6-litre three-cylinder under the bonnet. This wider bumper also has ducts to direct airflow that help in cooling the front brakes, and the general shape of the bumper itself

Thailand’s 10-hour Idemitsu Super Endurance Southeast Asia Trophy is our region’s most interesting race you’ve never heard of. Think of it as the Thai version of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, but with familiar B/C segment cars – regular cars that make up our region’s motoring landscape. Once again, Toyota Chairman Akio Toyoda participated under his ‘Morizo’ pseudonym. He raced under his self-funded ORC Rookie Racing Team, in the same modified Toyota GR Corolla that burns hydrogen instead of petrol. O

One year after signing a deal with Thailand’s Charoen Pokphand Group (CP) - one of the world’s largest food companies – to generate hydrogen from waste collected from the CP Group’s chicken farms, Toyota will now demonstrate its practical approach to carbon neutrality by racing a hydrogen-burning internal combustion engine Toyota GR Corolla. Unlike the fuel-cell electric Toyota Mirai that combines hydrogen with oxygen to generate electricity to power the car’s drive motor, this GR Corolla retain

Last weekend saw 15 of the best sim racers in the region battle it out virtually over 3 challenging courses to be crowned the Gazoo Racing (GR) GT Cup Asia 2023 champion and in the end, Indonesia Andika Rama stood atop the podium after placing his odds on a bold strategy. E-motorsports enthusiasts saw 15 local qualifiers from Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand pit their driving skills for a spot in the regional finals that would go down the same day. This years format saw a

It takes a fanatical fastidiousness to notice how even the size of a bolt affects performance, but that's what the people of Toyota Gazoo Racing (GR) are accustomed to, resulting in the upgraded Toyota GR Corolla. Two things were changed to the all-wheel drive monster: the bolts on the front and rear suspension members as well as the steering gearbox, and the shape of the front airduct. On the front suspension and steering gearbox, the bolts are now ribbed, while the fasteners at the back got a

Time magazine labelled 2020 as the “worst year ever” for most of us alive today. We witnessed the widespread cancellation of gatherings, global lockdowns, and the far-reaching consequences these had on the economy. Our lifestyles have probably been changed as well. It’s a year to forget for many, but in the midst of all of it, the automotive world was gifted a rally homologation special – the Toyota GR Yaris. It was a car that made zero financial sense. Toyota, as a company, could’ve carried on

Unique words tell a lot about a society. Have you heard of kaffeklatsch? It's a German slang for 'gossip over coffee'. Oddly specific as it is, it makes sense that it's coined by the people who invented drip coffee making, spilling a different kind of beans while another brews over... Fly to the other side of the world and thumb through their no less enigmatic dictionary, and you'll note that somewhere along the ideas of 'dear wife' and 'cherished pet', the Japanese have a place in the pages for

Commercials and advertisements are often seen as an annoyance but sometimes, there are a few gems that pop up that you simply don't want to skip. Take this latest commercial of the Toyota GR Corolla from the United States. The newest commercial depicting the GR Corolla is the final instalment of the Toyota GR model lineup ad campaign for America. The trilogy of ads pokes fun at the whole process of making a commercial. It goes through the process of the pitch, the focus group, and finally the sh

Talk about a story for the ages – Rookie Racing's Toyota GR Corolla has made history as the world's first liquid hydrogen-fuelled car to complete a race by successfully crossing the finish line at Round 2 of the Super Taikyu's 24 hours of Fuji this past weekend. Hydrogen (H2) as fuel is not new per se, as Toyota has fielded H2-combusting Corolla race cars since 2021. The main difference between now and then is the trialling of liquid hydrogen, a tech that promises higher energy density, longer d
