"Iwate racer" wants to revitalize his hometown of Tohoku - a winter rally event?

Masahiro Sasaki, who is supported by Techno Smile, is from Iwate in the Tohoku region.

He has been a "race car enthusiast" since he got his license and has been gliding around his hometown of Koiwai...

He told me this story with a mischievous smile.

Born in Iwate and still based here, I want to revitalize this place.

We want to share with the world the state of reconstruction after the Great East Japan Earthquake

We want to gather the world's top racers and let them experience the appeal of "snow rally racing."

We can't take our eyes off Masahiro Sasaki, who will be going full throttle in 2025!

Chairman Akio Toyoda mentions the possibility of holding the World Rally Tohoku, Governor Tasso also takes a positive view

Toyota Chairman mentions holding rally championship in Tohoku?

Toyota Motor Corporation mentioned the possibility of hosting the WRC (World Rally Championship) in Tohoku at the new LBX event held in Iwate. The Iwate Prefecture Governor, who was also a guest at the event, also expressed a positive attitude, so future developments will be closely watched.

Toyota Chairman Akio Toyoda drove the LBX with local driver Masahiro Sasaki the day before the event and commented, "Iwate's roads are well suited to building cars, so why not hold a rally here?"

The possibility of hosting the WRC in Tohoku was also mentioned by Rifu Town Mayor Dai Kumagai in July 2023, and Chairman Toyoda's comments are likely based on deep feelings. Additionally, the Governor of Iwate Prefecture seems pleased to host the rally, as it will help promote Iwate, once one of the nation's leading horse-breeding regions, as a "car-producing region."

Local understanding is essential to holding a rally championship, but with the cooperation of Iwate Prefecture, there is every chance it will come to fruition. We will be keeping an eye on future developments.
