TOYOTA GAZOO Racing (TGR) will compete in 2024 with the updated version of its Dakar-winning vehicle, now known as the GR DKR Hilux EVO T1U, a name that reflects both the vehicle's improvements and the new W2RC categorization.

The team will participate with five vehicles in the Dakar 2024, including two new drivers, who will face the toughest automobile test in the world. It will be the largest team that TGR has entered to date in the iconic Dakar Rally, combining the unrivaled experience of drivers like Giniel de Villiers with the good pace of Lucas Moraes and Seth Quintero. Additionally, the team has also confirmed that both Lucas and Seth, along with their co-drivers, will compete in the 2024 FIA World Rally-Raid Championship (W2RC) season.

Dakar 2024 will be the first round of W2RC 2024, and as such will be a pivotal rally for the two confirmed TGR crews in W2RC: Lucas Moraes and Armand Monleon, and Seth Quintero and Dennis Zenz.
