TRD U.S.A. has unveiled the new Toyota Camry body, which will compete in the Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli’s CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series beginning with this weekend’s race at Road Atlanta.
For the past several months, TRD has worked closely with Five Star RaceCar Bodies – the official body manufacturer for the TA2 Series – and Trans Am officials on the design, development and production of the Toyota Camry. The culmination of their work will be showcased this weekend in the TA2 event at Road Atlanta, where two Toyota Camrys are set to compete. Toyota Development Driver Tyler Gonzalez will pilot the No. 10 Mobil 1 Camry for Nitro Motorsports, while Thomas Annunziata will debut a GR-livery on his No. 90 Camry for Nitro Motorsports in the first race featuring the new body style.
“We are thrilled to be able to officially unveil the Toyota Camry body for the TA2 Series,” said Jack Irving, general manager, TRD U.S.A. “This body is the result of the diligent effort of so many people at TRD, Trans Am and Five Star. For us at TRD, we continue to see the value of the TA2 Series as our development drivers are able to get quality reps on iconic road courses across the country. This new body further shows the commitment Toyota has to Trans Am, now and into the future.”
”We are elated to welcome the new Toyota Camry body to the paddock in the CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series,” said Trans Am President Andy Lally. “The Trans Am Series prides itself as a proving ground for the future stars of stock car racing, and we’ve been fortunate to see many Toyota Development Drivers find success in Trans Am. We’re thrilled to be able to pair their promising talents with manufacturer support in our series.”
