JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - PT Toyota-Astra Motor (TAM) will hold the Toyota GR Car Meet 2026 at the Parkir Timur Gelora Bung Karno (GBK) Senayan, Jakarta, on Saturday, May 16, 2026. The event will be the largest Toyota automotive community festival in Indonesia, featuring more than 400 modified cars.

The displayed cars will represent various modification styles, from racing cars to stance, off-road, campervans, daily use vehicles, and the Japan Domestic Market (JDM) line.

Not only a vehicle exhibition, the Toyota GR Car Meet 2026 will also be a gathering place for automotive communities and Toyota enthusiasts from various regions. There are 21 communities that are members of the Toyota Owners Club (TOC) and 21 collaboration partners participating in the event.

Marketing Director of PT Toyota-Astra Motor (TAM), Hiroyuki Oide, said that the Toyota GR Car Meet 2026 is a platform for Toyota car enthusiasts to share their passion and excitement.

“As the largest Toyota car meet event in Indonesia, this event is a platform to share passion and excitement with fellow Toyota car enthusiasts, as well as representing Toyota’s support for car culture and the Indonesian creative automotive industry. Through the spirit of ‘GR Drive for Every Lifestyle,’ we want to position Gazoo Racing not only as a motorsport brand, but also as part of a lifestyle and car culture that is ingrained in Indonesian society,” said Oide, Saturday (May 16, 2026).

The Toyota GR Car Meet 2026 carries the concept of a car meet from the 1990s, utilizing a four-story parking building and an outdoor parking area in the Senayan area.

In addition to the car exhibition area, visitors can also enjoy various other activities such as an entertainment area, food and beverage, community trunk sale, GR Merchandise, and GR Simulator.

Even though it carries the name GAZOO Racing (GR), Toyota emphasizes that this event is inclusive and open to all Toyota enthusiasts.

Toyota says that the spirit of GR is not only related to motorsport, but also brings excitement, improvement, and driving pleasure to all Toyota product lines.

Marketing Director of PT Toyota-Astra Motor (TAM), Bansar Maduma, said that the development of car culture in Indonesia is inseparable from the role of automotive communities that have long made the Senayan area a gathering place.

“If we look at the journey of car culture in Indonesia, it all started from the community, from simple points, such as the Senayan area which has become a place to gather and share stories between car enthusiasts since the 90s. Today, we want to invite all visitors to not only see, but also feel and be part of that journey,” said Bansar.

“Toyota itself has been part of Indonesian car culture for 55 years, especially with Gazoo Racing, growing together with the community and continuing to strive to present vehicles that are not only technologically relevant, but also have meaning for their users,” he added.
