ENEN
As well as the heart-pumping action on track, TOYOTA RACING offers additional content around the Circuit de la Sarthe to entertain and inform fans throughout the race week.
Manufacturers’ Village
A TOYOTA RACING fan booth is located in the Manufacturers’ Village and allows fans to get up close to Le Mans icons of the past. A 1998 TS020 (GT-One) and engine are displayed, alongside the advanced racing hybrid powertrain of the multiple Le Mans-winning TS050 HYBRID. A merchandise booth and other content to illuminate the team’s Le Mans challenge is also on site.
Hydrogen Village
The emerging future of endurance racing – and mobility in general – is highlighted in the Hydrogen Village. Alongside the TR LH2 Racing Prototype – which can be seen partly in physical, partly in virtual form – fans can discover how hydrogen fuel can deliver a more sustainable, low emission future across a range of transportation types. Informative displays combine with showcase vehicles and fun activities to shine a light on hydrogen technology and its growing adoption throughout the world.
M24 Museum
Toyota’s racing and rallying heritage is on show via three cars. A Group C Toyota chassis – displayed as a Toyota 94C-V – raced at Le Mans in 1992-1994, finishing in the top six each time. It is joined by the 2020 TS050 HYBRID which earned Toyota’s third consecutive Le Mans win. Rallying is represented by a Celica Turbo 4WD (ST185) which was part of a 1-2-3-4 finish on the 1993 Safari Rally.
DEMO RUNS
The TR LH2 Racing Prototype will conduct its first public demonstration drives at the 13.626km Circuit de la Sarthe, bringing the sound and sensation of a hydrogen combustion engine to fans around the circuit. The car, based on the same chassis as the TR010 HYBRID Hypercar, is intended to advance the development of hydrogen technology in motorsports
Press release
Rookie Racing introduced the hydrogen-engined ORC ROOKIE GR Corolla H2 Concept to the Japanese Super Taikyu Series. Using gaseous hydrogen, the car retained the sounds and sensations of an internal combustion engine, but with the advantage of near-zero CO2 tailpipe emissions. Through motorsports experience, the H2 Corolla was strengthened to be refuelled faster, drive longer and operate more efficiently. In 2023 liquid hydrogen was used in competition for the first time.
Le Mans – venue for so many significant technical breakthroughs over the past century – is where Toyota has demonstrated its vision of hydrogen engines in top-level motorsport. The static GR H2 Racing Concept show car was revealed by TOYOTA Chairman Akio Toyoda at La Sarthe in 2023. Morizo also had the honour to do a demo lap in the ORC ROOKIE GR Corolla H2 concept on the Circuit de la Sarthe ahead of the 24-hour race.
Last year saw the unveiling of the GR LH2 Racing Concept test car, powered by a liquid hydrogen-fuelled engine and hybrid system, by ACO President Pierre Fillon, Kamui Kobayashi and Kazuki Nakajima. The presentation of the forward-looking GR LH2 Racing Concept completed a celebration of past, present and future to mark the 40th anniversary of Toyota’s first participation at Le Mans.
The 2026 Le Mans 24 Hours marks a new milestone for Toyota’s hydrogen motorsports activities. The TR LH2 Racing Prototype will make its dynamic public debut when it laps the Circuit de La Sarthe on Thursday and Saturday. The TR LH2 Racing Prototype is fuelled by liquid hydrogen and powered by a Hydrogen combustion engine.
Hydrogen technology will be highlighted throughout the event week thanks to several initiatives.
H2 FUEL CELL BUS
Team members will use a hydrogen fuel cell bus to travel to scrutineering and other official functions, driving in comfort and with virtually zero tailpipe emissions.
