“We are really pleased that one of the first GR Supra GT4 EVO2s that we have sold is going to Australia and looking forward to seeing what Daniel can do with the support of GWR,” said Toyota GAZOO Racing Europe Customer Motorsport’s Dane Berry.
“Hopefully we will see some more Supras joining the championship in 2025 to add another level of excitement and competitiveness to GT4 racing in Australia.”
