Toyota Gazoo Racing Releases Chaotic Ad for McDonald’s Japan Toy Promotion

Toyota Gazoo Racing has released a unique commercial that has reached 2.4 million views on YouTube — an advertisement exclusively aired in Japan.

The commercial opens with a NASCAR racing scene at Bristol Motor Speedway in wet conditions, but turns chaotic when giant toys start falling from the sky. The scene features Chinook helicopters, crashing cars, and a panicked flagman — until a McDonald’s-branded Toyota Supra safety car emerges as the savior.

“In the middle of a heated race, a giant toy suddenly falls down! Racing machines in chaos. Will the safety car be able to overcome this unprecedented crisis and proceed with the race safely?” reads the video caption in Japanese.

The advertisement was created to announce the return of McDonald’s ‘Tomica’ Happy Meal program in Japan.

Each purchase includes a Tomica diecast car, including the Toyota Gazoo Racing safety car replica available from April 25.

This safety-themed toy collection, launched on April 11, features various vehicles:

• Ambulance
• Police car
• Fire truck
• Construction vehicles
• Helicopter
• Mosasaurus Transport Vehicle
