Toyota Motor PH renames Vios Cup for 10th season

MANILA: Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) renamed the Toyota Gazoo Racing (TGR) Vios Cup for its 10th season.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • When will the Toyota Gazoo Racing Philippine Cup be held?

    The racing series will be held on three race weekends (July 13, September 28, and November 9).
  • What are the classes under TGR Philippine Cup Sprint Race?

    The TGR Philippine Cup Sprint Race has four categories, Novice, Promotional, Sporting, and Super Sporting.
  • The one-make racing series, now called TGR Philippine Cup, will be held at the Clark International Speedway in Mabalacat, Pampanga on three race weekends (July 13, September 28, and November 9).

    Per TMP, the annual motorsport event (which started in 2014) is expanding to provide “ever-better experiences for fans with more activities to look out for.”

    In a statement, the leading automotive distributor said that a mix of new and returning racers from various teams will compete in the Novice, Promotional, Sporting, and Super Sporting categories under the TGR Philippine Cup Sprint.

    Those who will watch the event can expect Ryan Agoncillo and Troy Montero to compete in the Super Sporting class. Meanwhile, celebrities, influencers and members of the motoring media who have shown exceptional skill in the previous editions’ Autocross Challenge will join in the newly-formed Novice class under the sprint race.

    TMP noted that all classes will go wheel-to-wheel in both the sprint race and the Endurance Race.

    To note, the Endurance Race (formerly known as the Grand Prix in the 2024 TGR Vios Cup) is a one-and-half-hour competition that will highlight the capabilities of the Vios race car. On the other hand, the sprint race (then called as the Circuit Championship) is a 12-lap or 30-minute race that will test the skill of the drivers.

    According to TMP, the time-attack slalom format Autocross Challenge will soon be opened to more drivers and audiences through a separate TGR tour that will be announced separately.

    Further, TGR car club members will be given exclusive access to the Clark International Speedway to drive their GR vehicle on the racetrack. Registration will be announced soon on TGR PH’s online channels.

    Aside from that, virtual racers may showcase their driving skills in the TGR GT Cup experience booth for a chance to win a prize.

    A drifting exhibition shall also be conducted using the Toyota GR86 and event-goers will also be given the opportunity to ride shotgun with professional drifters.

    Moreover, freebies and prizes will be up for grabs during the event, official GR merchandise for sale, GR road cars on display and for test drive, and even a special live stage by a musical guest.

    “In 2014, TMP launched its motorsports program dedicated to producing high-performance cars, activating exciting motorsports events, and creating unique experiences for fans,” TMP First Vice President for Vehicle Sales Operations Danny Cruz said.

    “Our hope for this new chapter of Toyota motorsports in the Philippines is to elevate the experience even further for fans by providing them with more ways to enjoy Toyota Gazoo Racing,” he added.

    The TGR Philippine Cup’s official fuel partner is Petron, tire partner as GT Radial, and timekeeper, Seiko. The event is also supported by Toyota Financial Services Philippines, myToyota Wallet, Denso, AVT, 3M, Rota, Tuason Racing, OMP, and Kinto One.
