Looking back at racing driver Masahiro Sasaki's activities in 2024
Following on from last time, we will look back on Sasaki's 2012 season.
Racing driver Masahiro Sasaki is actively involved in the development of new cars for Toyota and Lexus as a test driver.
In particular, in the development of Lexus' new car, the LBX, he was involved from the early stages of development together with master driver Morizo (Toyoda Akio), and was in charge of testing in a variety of environments, including circuits, snowy roads, and dirt roads.
In addition, Sasaki test drives the Lexus LBX in his hometown of Iwate Prefecture and promotes its appeal.
In the video below, Morizo drives along the roads of Iwate and talks about his thoughts on developing the LBX and how it feels to ride.
