Its a big deal to finally have the legendary Toyota GT-One back in Gran Turismo, and even moreso because now for the first time in the whole series - it has a detailed interior and the ability to change its livery. Curiously though, two major changes in terms of how its represented do present questions on how good it will feel in GT7; One, that it is technically no longer a top tier racer. It is instead a Gr2 car. Secondly, instead of the 600 or so horsepower which you may expect, it comes in more of a 'qualifying trim' of sorts, with over 760 bhp 'stock'. Both of these beg the question - how does the iconic TS020 feel now that it has finally returned?...
''In the early 1990s, Toyota set out to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans with its Group C TS010 race car. A number of unsuccessful years followed, but the company would return for the 1998 season with the Toyota GT-One (TS020). During its Group C racing days, Toyota developed its race cars almost exclusively in Japan. However, it revamped its plans and entrusted this project to the group in charge of their World Rally Championship activities, German-based TTE (Toyota Team Europe), in an attempt to once again claim overall victory in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The new Le Mans car, the GT-One, was designed by André de Cortanze, a race-car design genius with a brilliant track record in top motorsports genres, including Formula 1, the WRC, and the WRC. De Cortanze designed the Peugeot 905B, the first Group C Peugeot car to claim victory at Le Mans in 1992 and 1993.
For the GT-One, Cortanze the latest in F1 technology into its design. Its carbon composite monocoque body was developed for aerodynamic performance. Providing the power was the same twin-turbocharged 3.6 liter V-8 developed during the Toyota's Group C days. The suspension had very long arms in the front and rear, allowing for ideal suspension geometry.
In its first out at Le Mans in 1998, Toyota entered three GT-Ones in the LM GT1 in a serious attempt for overall victory. While one of its cars led the race, a combination of mechanical trouble and bad luck kept it from taking the checkered flag.
The following year, a change in the race's technical regulations saw the GT-One entered in the LM GTP prototype class. Three GT-Ones were entered in the race, but two of them, including the favorite and its supporting cars, were forced to withdraw due to a host of problems.
However, the third car, driven by Ukyo Katayama, Toshio Suzuki, and Keiichi Tsuchiya managed to stay in the race and claim 2nd place overall. This was the highest finish ever for a Japanese car driven by an all-Japanese team at Le Mans.''
