PLANO, Texas (Aug. 25, 2025) — The Toyota GR Supra will make its debut as the official pace car for the 2025 National Auto Sport Association (NASA) Championships, marking the third GR Sports car to carry out the duties for NASA’s Nationals. The event takes place September 4–7, 2025, at Ozarks International Raceway in Gravois Mills, Missouri.

Finished in a bold Toyota GAZOO Racing livery of red, white, and black, the GR Supra will lead the field at the National Auto Sport Association’s (NASA) marquee annual event. The championship brings together top drivers from 14 NASA regions across the country to compete in 25 classes, culminating in a winner-take-all finale on Sunday.

“At Toyota, our passion for performance and motorsports runs deep, and we’re honored to support grassroots racing through our relationship with NASA,” said Mike Tripp, group vice president, Toyota Marketing. “We’re especially proud to have the GR Supra pacing the 2025 Championships at Ozarks International Raceway—marking its debut as the official NASA Champs pace car.”

Hundreds of drivers will tackle the 3.97-mile road course at Ozarks, a 19-turn layout that features dramatic elevation changes and technical complexity. The circuit promises to deliver both a challenging test of driver skill and an exhilarating experience for fans in attendance…both live and via live stream.

The GR Supra pace car highlights Toyota GAZOO Racing’s continued commitment to the enthusiast community. Through a unique relationship with NASA, every new Toyota GR sports car buyer receives a complimentary one-year NASA membership—including a free High Performance Driving Event (HPDE) track day. This benefit originated in 2019 exclusively for GR Supra owners and has since expanded to include all GR sports car buyers.

“The relationship between Toyota and NASA has been an incredible way to introduce sports car owners to the world of performance driving in a safe and responsible manner,” said Jeremy Croiset, chief executive officer of NASA. “We’re especially excited to welcome the GR Supra for the first time as the official pace car for the 2025 NASA Championships at Ozarks International Raceway. For those who can’t join us at the track, all the action will be streaming live at www.DriveNASA.com.”

Since its launch, the fifth generation Supra has led Toyota’s GR lineup, offering one of the best performance values in the sports car segment. The 2026 model year will mark the final production run of the GR Supra, available in 3.0, 3.0 Premium and MkV Final Edition trims—all offered with a choice of six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic transmission.

The limited-run 2026 GR Supra MkV Final Edition will see only 1,300 units available in North America. Offered in red, black, or white, the MkV Final Edition features a GT4-Style package with matte-finish paint, race-inspired graphics, carbon fiber red mirror caps, dual stainless steel exhaust tips, and a carbon-fiber ducktail spoiler.

Under the hood, all 2026 GR Supra models continue to deliver thrilling performance with a 3.0-liter inline-six, twin-scroll, turbocharged engine producing 382 horsepower and 368 lb-ft of torque.
