PLANO, Texas, 1 de agosto de 2023 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ -- La serie GR Cup de Toyota Gazoo Racing North America apuesta por la tecnología de punta para estrechar los lazos entre pilotos y aficionados. Aprovechando la experiencia de la empresa de software y servicios de datos Toyota Connected North America (TCNA), la serie GR Cup ha creado trofeos digitales personalizados a través de la cadena de bloques de polígonos que muestran las estadísticas de los pilotos, los podios, la posición final y los tiempos por vuelta en un paquete que se puede compartir y que se actualiza después de cada fin de semana de carreras.LaToyota GR Cup aprovecha los trofeos digitales de vanguardia para mejorar la participación de pilotos y aficionados Toyota Connected Logo (PRNewsfoto/Toyota Connected North America)"Con la GR Cup Series, vemos la oportunidad de introducir tecnologías que mejorarán la experiencia de nuestros pilotos y les permitirán relacionarse mejor con los aficionados a las carreras", dijo Jack Irving, director comercial ejecutivo de TRD.
