2018 was a truly landmark year for TOYOTA GAZOO Racing and their TS050 Hybrid car, which made a huge splash in the racing world thanks to a refined design with great aerodynamics and a hybrid powertrain pairing a 2.4-liter engine and lithium-ion battery. Now, following on from Mini 4WD and R/C models, the car is a welcome addition to the impressive stable of racing cars in the Tamiya 1/24 Sports Car Series.
