Toyota Gazoo Racing Vios Cup returns this July

MANILA: Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) will open the 2022 season of its premier one-make race series, the Toyota Gazoo Racing (TGR) Vios Cup, this July.

After a series of virtual programs for the 2021 season, where racing fans could watch live racing action via TMP's online channels, the Toyota Gazoo Racing Vios Cup is bringing the enthusiasm and excitement of the live audience back to the grandstand this year, with the first of three legs taking place on July 2 at 9:30 a.m. at the Clark International Speedway in Pampanga.

The TGR Vios Cup will also be livestreamed on the Toyota Motor Philippines and Toyota Gazoo Racing Philippines Facebook pages, allowing more racing fans to watch the action from anywhere.

The Circuit Championship and Autocross Challenge will be the main events of the TGR Vios Cup 2022. The Circuit Championship will pit the Philippines' best racing teams against each other, with seasoned and up-and-coming racers vying for podium spots in the Super Sporting, Sporting, and Promotional classes.

The Autocross Challenge adds to the fun and excitement of the event by inviting celebrities, influencers, and members of the media to put their speed and racing skills to the test by negotiating a specially designed race course.

The Toyota Gazoo Racing GT Cup champions will also compete in the TGR Vios Cup Autocross event this year, paving the way for the country's top e-racers to put their virtual racing skills to the real world.

TMP strives to achieve its mission of promoting motorsports in the country and giving a platform for top Filipino racing talents as it opens the race track to show the thrill and excitement of live racing to on-site and online audiences, driven by the TGR philosophy of pushing the limits for better.

“Over the years, the TGR Vios Cup has been serving as a vehicle for us to champion the local racers, and to bring the thrill of racing to everyone. We thank our ever-growing community of racers and motorsports fans for their support which makes the TGR Vios Cup one of the biggest, and longest-running racing events in the Philippines. With the event welcoming the public to the grandstand once again, it’s the perfect way to bring together the ambitious spirit of the racers and the rousing energy of the fans,” TMP First Vice President for Vehicle Sales Operations Sherwin Chualim stated.

Admission is free for everyone, and only vaccination cards are required to enter the speedway. The TGR Vios Cup livestream on TMP's and TGR PH's social media pages will include commentaries, special features, racer interviews, and audience engagement activities.
