Saatchi & Saatchi previewed a new Toyota NZ campaign on Sky last night, celebrating the car company’s commitment to motorsport and the development of New Zealand racing talent through the Toyota Racing Series (TRS).

The film heroes the young drivers who will benefit from the programme. It will be broadcast in over 100 countries across the globe.

“TRS is an amazing Toyota story that most of New Zealand won’t be aware of,” said Saatchi joint CD Corey Chalmers. “The world’s best future talent come to New Zealand (the Lear jets parked at Palmerston North are something to see) and compete against our very finest young drivers – who are easily on a par.

“It’s a brilliant embodiment of Toyota’s Believe platform – and it works.”

TRS is designed to develop the next generation of world-class drivers in New Zealand. Without it, there would be no accessible leap to Formula racing for NZ’s emerging motorsport talent. It is the only class in New Zealand motorsport that offers aspiring drivers the vital experience they need to go on to compete on the world stage.

“No other manufacturer has made the same long-term commitment to motorsport in this country,” Chalmers said.
