A partnership built on the road

We're trackside at the Toyota GR Cup - because if you drive a Toyota, chances are Netstar is already part of your journey. Since 2019, new Toyota and Lexus vehicles sold at dealerships across South Africa have come standard with our telematics devices installed. The car in your driveway. The one that got you here this morning.
The GR Cup is where we get to celebrate that - with the community that lives and breathes South African motorsport.
South Africa’s most exciting motorsport series
The Toyota GR Cup is unique in South African motorsport. Six journalists from broadcast, digital, and print media race identical GR cars across six circuits throughout the season. These are not celebrity drivers. They are the people who write, broadcast, and create South Africa's automotive conversation, behind the wheel.
For motorsport fans
Six circuits. Six race days. The GR Cup is a season-long story that lives across your social feeds, in the paddock, and on the grandstand. Follow the season - and the journalists who are living it.
For Toyota owners
If you bought a new Toyota or Lexus, our tracking device came standard in your vehicle. The GR Cup is where we celebrate the Toyota partnership - and the South African roads you both share.
For media and industry
The GR Cup puts the people who shape South Africa's automotive narrative in the driver's seat - literally. The 2026 season is a platform for authentic storytelling, relationship building, and industry access.
