On September 28th, the second day of the 2025 Toyota Gazoo Racing Corolla Cup in Taichung, Toyota Motor Corporation Chairman Akio Toyoda made a surprise appearance—not just to observe, but to put on a drifting demonstration himself. Following his performance at the racetrack, Toyoda sat down with local media to discuss Toyota’s vision for hydrogen-powered vehicles, the future of motorsports in Asia, and the company’s experimental smart city initiative, Woven City.
