“In 1999, Jérôme Policand, then a driver on the Clio V6 Trophy, created Auto Sport Promotion (ASP). It was the beginning of an incredible adventure that would combine professionalism and talent to achieve performance and success in France, Europe and even on the other side of the Atlantic ocean ...

Above all, it is a story of men and passion respecting sporting values based on courage, tenacity and will, and a strong “team spirit”, the key to any success…and who are looking for the same target... victory!”

“GR GT, GR GT3, and Lexus LFA Concept World Premiere

“The Lexus LFA Concept is the embodiment of “Toyota’s Shikinen Sengu”, a ritual in which a Shinto shrine is periodically rebuilt, representing the crucial commitment to carry forward the essential skills and technologies that automakers must preserve for the next generation. Born from the powerful vision and strong passion of Master Driver Morizo, this new era is defined by three exceptional models: the GR GT, the GR GT3, and the Lexus LFA Concept. These three vehicles share a unified philosophy and are being developed as one across the boundaries of the GR and Lexus brands.”
