The 2018 Dakar #Rally reached the finish line.
Facing conditions including various road surfaces, altitude and temperature differences, as well as dynamic climates, #Rally teams once again conquered the grueling 9,000 kilometers of the two-week competition this year.
First of all, I would like to thank all teams that selected #Toyota to be their companion in battle for the tough race and to congratulate everyone who completed the 2018 Dakar #Rally, which is said to have been the toughest one in history.
I would like to extend my congratulations to following three teams in particular:
Again, I extend my sincere congratulations to the teams and everyone involved in this #Rally.
Watching footage of the #Rally, I could not help but be drawn in and feel the tough nature of the road and have thoughts of how unforgiving nature is, as well as if it is really possible that vehicles can run in such environments. With numerous vehicles being forced to retire during the #Rally, I am appreciative of the demonstrated performance and potential of the #Toyota vehicles that completed the #Rally through the battling of such tough roads.
The Dakar #Rally, which I watch in the beginning of every year, serves as a re-affirmation of the significance of the words "roads make cars." This year and going forward, the #Toyota Group as a whole will strive to continue to make ever-better cars by traversing the wide variety of roads and terrains across the world.
I would like to thank you for your continued support.
