Motorsport Australia is pleased to announce Toyota Australia as an FIA Girls on Track partner, which sees the manufacturer use its global motorsport credentials to give more girls the opportunity to get involved in motorsport.
Kicking off the partnership at the Repco Bathurst 1000, the team at TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Australia gave one young girl the opportunity to work alongside Toyota’s Bathurst team: across events, sponsorships, PR and social properties.
Toyota Australia’s Chief Marketing Officer, Vin Naidoo stated it was an easy decision to partner with Motorsport Australia’s FIA Girls on Track program.
“It’s a unique opportunity to show young girls how they can thrive in motorsport, while shaping the future for generations to come,” Naidoo said.
“The Bathurst 1000 experience provided hands-on experience at a world-class motorsport event, with a world-class team.”
Motorsport Australia’s Partnerships Manager Loren Di Pietro praised the partnership and its broader benefits to the sporting community, noting the strength of Toyota Australia’s reputation and its investment in people development.
“Motorsport Australia is pleased to see a trusted global brand like Toyota supporting and strengthening pathways to participation,” Di Pietro said.
This partnership comes at an exciting time as Toyota Australia enters the Supercars category in 2026 with its GR Supra, extending its commitment to motorsport participation, which already includes one-make grassroots TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Australia (TGRA) Scholarship Series and GR CUP, and the TGRA Rally Team.
“Toyota Australia is a stalwart of the Australian automotive industry, and this partnership cements their support of Australian motorsport at all levels,” Di Pietro said.
“Strategic partnerships like the one we’ve created with Toyota Australia allow the FIA Girls on Track program to bridge the gap between simply being curious and building a career in motorsport.”
Toyota Australia’s GR CUP events will provide a work experience opportunity for participants via Motorsport Australia’s FIA Girls on Track – Empower initiative, in what is a very exciting time for Toyota in Australian motorsport.
Toyota Australia will next host an FIA Girls on Track experience at the 2025 Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500 on 24-26 October, as well as Penrite Oil Sandown 500, followed by activations at every GR CUP round in 2026.
