David Floury new technical director of Toyota Gazoo Racing Europe

TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Europe is setting its course to develop the next generation of company leadership as part of its commitment to continuous improvement and making ever-better motorsport-bred cars.

As a first step, an updated top management organisation has been implemented, led by President Masato Hirai, Vice Chairman Kazuki Nakajima and Managing Director Rob Leupen.

A process is underway to further develop an efficient management organization and empower the next generation of leaders.

David Floury has accepted a role as acting Technical Director, reporting to Rob Leupen. The positions of John Litjens and Norio Aoki, respective project leaders of WEC and WRC Engine, are unchanged and both will now report to David Floury. Pascal Vasselon’s role in day-to-day operations is temporarily paused, although TGR-E expects him to resume an active role soon, contributing his knowledge and experience to enhance TOYOTA GAZOO Racing’s strategic approach to global motorsport.

Further information will be communicated at the conclusion of the process.
