Built for Endurance, Tuned for Performance 💪
Overdrive Racing is entering its next era of rally-raid, with the development of the all-new GR Hilux for the TOYOTA GAZOO Racing W2RC team.
Leading the charge is a newly-assembled design and engineering team, headed by Christian Loriaux, who joined the project in December 2024, and Glyn Hall, who came on board in June 2025. Together, they bring decades of elite expertise to one of the most demanding challenges in motorsport.
The new car will be exclusively used by the TOYOTA GAZOO Racing W2RC ( ) team from the start of the 2026 World Rally-Raid Championship season. From the second half of 2026 it will also be made available to private teams wishing to compete in rally-raid.
Jean-Marc Fortin
CEO, Overdrive Racing
“It’s great to take on the challenge of developing an entirely new rally-raid GR Hilux to compete in the FIA World Rally-Raid Championship, which includes the most iconic rally of them all, the Dakar. This has been a dream of mine, to bring together such an incredible group of people to design a car from scratch.”
Christian Loriaux
Technical Director, Overdrive Racing
“Although this is my first professional step into rally-raid, I’ve spent decades in the World Rally Championship, where performance under extreme pressure and within tight regulations is the standard.
Rally-raid has changed; Dakar is now more sprint than endurance. That dynamic shift plays directly into my background. While I’ve worked in larger teams throughout my career, I’m genuinely impressed with the craftsmanship, resourcefulness, and competitive spirit here at Overdrive. We’re diving deep into every detail, from aerodynamics to packaging, from data to serviceability.”
