Bridgestone Winter Driving School Enters New Era with TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Performance Affiliation

Submitted by J. Mikhail on

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – October 13, 2024 – Since 1983, the Bridgestone Winter Driving School has been the longest continually running winter driver education program anywhere in the world.  

For 2025, the school's performance education classes are being recast with an exclusive fleet of Toyota Gazoo Racing (TGR) vehicles: the turbocharged GR Supra, the boxer engine GR86, and the 3-cylinder, turbocharged all-wheel drive GR Corolla.  

Drivers will have expertly guided use of the full-range of Bridgestone Blizzak shod GR sports cars on the school's snow- and ice-covered tracks in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. The vehicles will be presented in one- or two-day driving experiences.  

Toyota's relationship with the school as sole presenting manufacturer began in 2001, but 2024 marks the first year that the school will have a fleet of performance-oriented vehicles exclusively for use in performance classes.  

The new "Fastest Ride on Ice featuring TOYOTA GAZOO Racing" takes the school's proven class format and adds a new level of excitement. The GR fleet will consist of both manual and automatic transmission-equipped cars, allowing performance-oriented drivers of all backgrounds to experience Toyota's newest adrenaline-pumping range of cars on the most challenging driving surface of all: ice and snow.
