The three largest hobby manufactures in the world will be joining forces at the 2009 Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach [LBGP], in the first "Radio Control Motorsport Experience." This collaboration within the hobby community is aimed to increase awareness for the hobby grade radio control market. The combined marketing forces at Tamiya America, Inc., Kyosho America, and HPI Racing are prepared to take their respective companies to a broader audience than what is currently available within the radio controlled hobby industry.
The 2009 LBGP is set to celebrate the 35th anniversary. This will be the second race of the 2009 IndyCar Series brought to you by DIRECTV HD. Support races include American Le Mans Series, Firestone Indy Lights, SCCA SPEED World Challenge GT Series, Formula Drift Series and the world famous Toyota Pro Celebrity Race featuring an eclectic roster of celebrity icons.
A major component of the event is the Lifestyle Expo, which is held at the Long Beach Convention Center. The Long Beach Convention Center is centrally located within the temporary street circuit that is assembled every year to run the racing event. Over one hundred and eighty-five thousand spectators are expected to pass through the event during its four days of operation exposing the hobby industry to mainstream and motorsport enthusiast crowds.
The Lifestyle Expo contains many attractions for Grand Prix attendees, including a Kids Zone. Tamiya America, Inc., HPI Racing, and Kyosho of America will showcase numerous products as well as demonstrate R/C Drifting, R/C Rock Crawling, R/C Tanks and Mini R/C tabletop race cars.
