By the way, here is some guidance on what I am looking for with this one:
  • Identify the make & model of the vehicle as labeled and presented (no need to identify the manufacturer of the underlying mechanical components)
  • Identify the specific venue
  • Identify the event by name and year (no need to identify the specific date)
  • Identify the driver by name
I anticipate that, for most of you anyway, #1 will be the easiest and #4 the most difficult of the items to solve. Anyone who fully identifies #1, #3 or #4 will earn a 48-hour lock to solve the remaining items.

I've found some pictures of this vehicle but without details unfortunately. One of this picture was published in 2017, is it the correct year of the event ?

As there are several cameras on the car, was it made for a TV show ?

The event was covered by the media and likely aired on television.

Found it as "Toyota Gazoo Racing Park". Many events occurred during 2017 but if the puzzle photo was taken at Suzuka, then it was on October 21st-22nd during the Round 7 of Super Formula championship.

Go kart body is meant to look like a Toyota Aqua. The go kart part of the TGRP event is simply called "The Kart".
