The Toyota GR brand is driven by enthusiasts and focused on delivering incredible experiences wherever the driver may take their vehicles, including the closed-course settings for which their vehicles are designed, so long as they are driven in a manner that falls within the terms of the warranty. Each warranty claim is evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

Toyota has recently clarified its warranty policy with regard to track use. Participation in High Performance Driving Events (HPDE), including events sponsored by Toyota or affiliates, or recreation track/off-highway use does not necessarily limit/exclude warranty coverage under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. However, damage to the vehicle or components that occurs as a result of abuse or misuse of the vehicle while participating in an HPDE or track and off-highway use is not covered.

As always, we encourage customers who experience any issues with their vehicle to contact their authorized Toyota dealer or call the Toyota Brand Engagement Center (1-800-331-4331) when a dealer is not able to resolve a matter.

National Auto Sport Association. “We’re the race guys, not the space guys!” NASA was founded in California in 1991 to deliver high quality motorsports events to enthusiasts at major racing venues throughout the nation. NASA has created programs that allow owners of both racecars and high-performance street-driven vehicles to enjoy the full performance capabilities of their cars in a controlled environment. NASA offers many different programs that will allow you to enjoy motorsports on a number of different levels, including our High Performance Driving Events (HPDE), Rally Sport, Time Trial, Car Control Clinics, NASA-X (Autocross), and Competition Racing programs (sprint and endurance format.)

The NASA HPDE cancellation policy requires a minimum of 14-days notice before your scheduled event. If for any reason you are unable to attend, please submit your request via the contact form or call us at 844-477-8772. You will forfeit your complimentary track experience if we do not hear from you 14-days prior to your event. Regretfully, we cannot make any exceptions to this policy. Please know that NASA events do not cancel due to rain.

Events run rain or shine. We strongly encourage you to come ESPECIALLY when it rains. It can typically be an even better learning opportunity. Multi-national-champion TRD/Scion racer, Dan Gardner, had this to say:

“There’s a reason we often use a wet skid pad to teach car control. When it’s wet, you really learn to become one with the car, and it accelerates learning about oversteer and understeer. In the many rain races, I’ve competed in, you really can watch driver talent shine, as you often see “slower” cars passing “faster” cars in the wet.”

Absolutely you can take your stock GR sports car to the track! Do keep in mind that consumable items such as tires and brakes may wear at a significantly increased rate, and are impacted by things such as driving style, track layout, track surface and condition, temperature, etc.

The HPDE Program is our high-performance driving school on an enclosed road course. It’s designed for licensed drivers in street cars like Toyota GR sports cars. Please know that your track experience may start early and run all day. Expect classroom instruction, on-track driving and plenty of socializing with other sports car enthusiasts. Instructors are provided free-of-charge for all beginner drivers. For additional info please see https://drivenasa.com/hpde/.

HPDE INTRO is available at select NASA events and designed specifically for people brand-new to driving on a racetrack. If HPDE-INTRO isn’t an option, you should register for HPDE1.  If you are a certified professional driver you can register for any level of HPDE. If you are still not sure or have other questions, please call us at 844-477-8772.

Absolutely, yes, we recognize outside experience as long as it is equivalent (especially in terms of passing rules and car counts.) If you already have previous track experience, we will work with you to get you placed into the right group. If you do not gain clearance before your first event you will be placed in HPDE Level 1.

You may be guided by a certified driving-instructor implementing a lead-follow technique or you may receive in-car instruction.

You can spend some time reading through the NASA rules related to the HPDE program which can be found here. (Club Codes & Regulations) Section 3-8 are what you should familiarize yourself with. As the event approaches, you will also receive a pre-event email with much more information specific to your event.

NASA High-Performance Driving Events (HPDE) are environments for new Toyota GR owners to explore the limits of their vehicles in a controlled setting. Supplemental insurance is not required but if you’d like additional peace of mind, Toyota Insurance has partnered with Hagerty Insurance to offer a special HPDE insurance policy that provides coverage for your vehicle.

Drivers in all our run groups need to put big unique numbers on both sides of the car for ease of identification from all manned flag stations on the circuit as well as the control tower. Communication is nearly constant during an event day about which car is first in the group to take the green flag, which is last to take the checkered flag, which just had a spin or 4-off, which is developing a mechanical problem, and so forth – but all of that is based on car number and to a lesser extent color and type (because some may not know exactly what an “Turbulence Gray GR Supra” is, but everyone can usually recognize “Gray Toyota #55.”) 

Numbers need to be at least 8-10″ tall and of a contrasting color on bodywork not glass for visibility reasons, so they can be seen from up to several hundred feet from the track surface. They also need to be unique inside of each run group (i.e., we can’t have two cars that are both #7 in HPDE1 and 2, but a #7 in HPDE2 and a #7 in the race group is fine – because they’re never on track simultaneously) for identification purposes, so we know who’s driving each car. Blue painters’ tape or masking tape is preferred because it doesn’t leave residue, unlike duct tape. Or even better, get some custom numbers from the many online vinyl suppliers.

Yes! As a NASA member, you may enter and participate in any event for which you are qualified or simply attend NASA motorsports events as a spectator.

NASA offers events through their regions at nearly every road racing facility in the country. If you don’t see an event currently listed at a track near you, check back for updates and please see the map for track locations.

Your membership expires 1 year after the purchase of your new Toyota GR sports car.
