When it comes to our dedicated community of automotive enthusiasts there’s always a difference of opinions, but if there’s one thing we can all get behind on it's our quest to save the manual transmission. That’s why we enlisted the help of Toyota Pro Driver Jhonnattan Castro to join our noble, manual-saving crusade on The Streets of Willow Springs International Raceway.

Every family has its share of dynamic personalities, but the GR family doesn’t have a wallflower in the bunch.
