COSTA MESA, Calif. – TRD (Toyota Racing Development) U.S.A., Inc. announced today its contingency awards program for customer race teams competing with the GR Supra GT4 race car in the SRO GT4 America competition beginning in 2021. 

Incentives for race teams competing in both series includes $3,000 for first place, $2,000 for second place and $1,000 for third place. TRD will also award a $7,500 prize to customer teams who win an overall driver’s title and $5,000 to race teams who are a part of an overall manufacturer’s championship. 

“TRD is thrilled to announce our contingency awards program for race teams competing with the GR Supra GT4 beginning in 2021,” said Tyler Gibbs, general manager, TRD U.S.A., Inc. “We’ve had a lot of interest in the program and are now offering not only a competitive payout for on-track success, but also valued at-track support to customer race teams as we anticipate the GR Supra GT4 hitting the track in the coming months.” 

Race teams running the GR Supra GT4 will also receive a 10% discount on all spare parts, options and accessories that are purchased along with the race car. TRD is set to provide support to customer race teams at all SRO Pirelli GT4 America events that includes a parts truck and a systems engineer on-site.
