Since 2016, Toyota Gazoo Racing and its regional subsidiaries field the Toyota GR DKR Hilux model, which is produced by SVR Hallspeed in South Africa; prior to that, the car was mainly used by private installations Imperial and Overdrive Racing. [2] [3] TGR's international rally division introduced an upgraded Hilux, the Toyota GR DKR Hilux EVO T1U, in 2024. [4] Overdrive Racing prepares its own model separate from TGR dubbed the Toyota Hilux Overdrive. A Hilux developed by WCT Engineering, intended to be affordable for privateers, has been raced since 2023. [5]
