The TGR Philippine Cup features two kinds of race formats: the Sprint Race, a 12-lap or 30-minute race, and the Endurance Race, a 1.5-hour race. Each race format has four categories: the Novice Class, Promotional Class, Sporting Class and Super Sporting Class. Racers will be driving the one-make-race Vios or Vios OMR.

Participating in the Novice Class is TMP President Masando Hashimoto himself, who made his racing debut during the first race weekend. This class is made up of racers who have graduated from the Autocross Challenge, including Russel Reyes who was also the third placer at the TGR Gran Turismo Cup.

Ryan Agoncillo and Troy Montero will also be returning to the track in the Sporting Class and Super Sporting Class, respectively. Joining them also in the Sporting Class is a new member of Team TGR Philippines for Race Weekend 2, Kody Ng, who was selected through a driver tryout. They will be competing against seasoned racers from top racing teams in the country.

Toyota car clubs will be taking to the tracks their GR performance cars for an exclusive track experience. Fans of the GR Supra, GR 86 and GR Yaris can enjoy the sound of revving engines and the sight of sleek super cars speeding through.

Another activity to look out for is the driving exhibition, where professional drifters take the GR 86 out for a spin on track – literally! A few lucky people from the audience will also get the thrilling opportunity to ride shotgun during the drifts for an experience to remember.

Sim racing enthusiasts can test their skills at the TGR GT Cup experience booth, where players set their fastest lap time for a chance to win a prize.

Freebies will be up for grabs during the event, official GR merchandise will be on sale, GR road cars will be on display, and a musical guest will be holding a special live stage to round off the weekend. The best thing is – admission to the TGR Philippine Cup is free.

TMP Vice President for Marketing Services Department Mr. Elvin Luciano shares, “The fun never stops with Toyota Gazoo Racing! As we continue to help develop motorsports in the country through events such as the TGR Philippine Cup, we hope fans find more reasons to enjoy and experience for themselves the thrill of the track.
