Toyota Gazoo Racing’s Dakar Rally winner, the GR DKR Hilux T1+, wowed crowds at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in June 2022. Mathieu Baumel, winning Dakar Rally co-driver alongside Nasser Al-Attiyah, and engineer Christophe Martin gave us a tour of the vehicle.

The GR DKR Hilux T1+ represents the biggest technological leap for the Toyota Dakar programme since its inception in 2011. The GR DKR Hilux T1+ is powered by a new 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 engine, developed from the unit featured in the new road-going Toyota Land Cruiser 300 GR Sport.

It delivers more torque than the rally Hilux’s previous engine, and also saves weight; overall vehicle weight has been increased, however, to two tonnes, in line with 2022 racing regulations. Engine performance is also governed by official FIA regulations, so maximum power and torque are 400bhp/298kW and 660Nm respectively – well within the capabilities of the production engine.

The excellent capabilities of the twin-turbo V6 allowed the team to work with it in stock form. It uses standard Toyota turbochargers and the intercooler, with its orientation modified for the race car, is also a standard part and inherently extremely efficient.

Adjustment to the suspension system has increased travel from 280 to 350mm. This helps the driver to make the most of the performance of the new tyres, which have increased in both size, from 32 to 37 inches, and width, from 245 to 320mm.

The tyres are fitted to new aluminium wheels; these have been an integral part of the T1+’s development and have been left in their natural metal finish, which benefits heat radiation.

Under the skin, the racing Hilux has retained the mid-engine layout that has been in use since Dakar 2016, and its core cockpit layout. The car now carries just two spare tyres rather than the three that had been permitted in the past, in line with changes in the regulations for the T1+ category.

The car competes in the 2022 FIA World Rally-Raid Championship and has adopted the Toyota Gazoo Racing livery shared by the World Rally Championship and World Endurance Championship cars.

The famous GR lettering style has now been adopted by all three World Championship teams, reinforcing the link between Toyota’s race cars, and its new stable of GR road-going sports models.

Rally Dakar 2023 | TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Pre-Event Test | Namibia

— Reigning champions Nasser Al-Attiyah and Mathieu Baumel to lead the way
— Giniel de Villiers and Dennis Murphy return to Dakar action
— Henk Lategan and Brett Cummings aim to impress on third outing

The updated and even more brutal GR DKR Hilux T1+ ready to face stiff competition in the legendary rally TOYOTA GAZOO Racing is set to take on the 2023 Dakar Rally with a three-car team early in January. The reigning masters, Nasser Al-Attiyah and co-driver Mathieu Baumel, will return to lead the way together with newly crowned South African Rally-Raid Champion Giniel de Villiers and co-driver Dennis Murphy, as well as Henk Lategan and Brett Cummings.

This event will mark the start of the World Rally-Raid Championship (W2RC) 2023 season, with Nasser and Mathieu again taking on the world’s toughest cross-country races.

The duo will be competing in all five rounds of the FIA’s W2RC during 2023. The championship starts with the Dakar Rally in January, and will be followed by the Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge at the end of February; the Sonora Rally in Mexico during April and the Desafio Ruta 40 in Argentina at the end of August. The season will draw to a close with the Rally of Morocco, again scheduled for mid-October.

The two remaining crews will compete the rest of the season in the South African Rally-Raid Championship (SARRC) as part of TOYOTA GAZOO Racing South Africa (TGRSA), which also serves as a key component in the ongoing testing and development of the GR DKR Hilux T1+. In 2022, the seven-round SARRC was won by Giniel and the former champions Henk and Brett finished second in the championship considered one of the world’s toughest rally-raid series.

The tough 2022 racing season offered TGR comprehensive opportunities to improve the Dakar-winning GR DKR Hilux T1+ in terms of quality, durability and reliability. In line with Toyota’s ethos of “Making Ever-better cars”, the team capitalised on more than 25,000km of racing and testing completed by its crews in both the W2RC and SARRC. Furthermore, the crews further built on their own competencies, thanks to 130 combined days on the road, securing both the W2RC and SARRC titles for the team.

For the 2023 season, the FIA has refined its criteria aimed at balancing the performance between the Class T1+ vehicles, and their counterparts in Class T1U (ultimate). The primary focus of the updated rules is to close up the field, making competition even tougher. For example, both the Class T1+ and T1U cars have had their peak power output reduced by 30kW. The power curves have been adjusted to blend the change proportionately, and the altitude compensation for turbo powered T1+ cars has been removed.

At the same time, TGR has been constantly upgrading the GR DKR Hilux T1+, with the aim of improving its quality, durability and reliability even further, ensuring that the car is fully prepared for the rigours of the Dakar Rally, the W2RC and the SARRC. As such, improvements have been made to the car’s differentials, suspension parts and wishbones, which have been reinforced. The single damper setup has also been optimised, as has the transmission’s shifting characteristics. Finally, the software has been tweaked to accept the latest racing fuel, and to ensure that the car conforms to the Balance of Performance requirements as set out by the FIA.

The team’s commitment to the development of the GR DKR Hilux T1+ is reflected by the privateer racing community, with seven privately entered versions of the car signed up for Dakar 2023. These cars sport similar setups and specifications to the GR DKR Hilux T1+ campaigned by the factory entry.

TGR also supports Team Land Cruiser Toyota Auto Body (TLC), a rally team of Toyota Auto Body Co., Ltd. that competes in the Toyota Land Cruiser. In the 2022 Dakar Rally, it achieved its ninth consecutive victory in the production car category. In the 2023 Dakar Rally, the team will enter a new Land Cruiser 300 GR SPORT and aim for their 10th straight victory in the production car category.
