SCOTT Pye will return to Toyota Forklifts colours for arguably the three biggest stops on the 2023 Repco Supercars Championship calendar.
Pye has donned a variety of liveries this year, including Toyota at the Perth SuperSprint and BP at last month’s OTR SuperSprint at The Bend.
Toyota will be back onboard the #20 Camaro in a naming rights capacity at this weekend’s Sandown 500, next month’s Bathurst 1000, and the season-ending Adelaide 500 in November.

Pye will have veteran Warren Luff as his co-driver at Sandown and Bathurst, the pair having twice finished runner-up in the Great Race.
“I’m thrilled to have Toyota Forklifts back onboard as our major partner for the Sandown and Bathurst endurance races as well as the Adelaide 500,” said Pye.
“These races hold a special place in my heart and I’m eager to make them proud as we tackle these iconic events together.
“Toyota Forklifts has been a long-standing partner of Team 18, and their return for these prestigious races is a testament to the relationship we’ve built and together with Luffy onboard we’ll be going out there to deliver the results they deserve and have a shot at the win.”

Team 18 owner Charlie Schwerkolt added: “It’s amazing to welcome back Toyota Forklifts as our title sponsor for Sandown, Bathurst and Adelaide.
“These aren’t just races but legendary events on the sporting calendar, so to represent a global brand on our biggest stage is a real honour for us.
“We’re excited to continue our journey, spanning over a decade, and represent Toyota Forklifts in three of our grandest races of the season, kicking off this weekend at Sandown.”
