Team Toyota PH heads to GR GT Cup Asia regional rounds
THE third season of the Toyota Gazoo Racing Gran Turismo Cup Philippines came to an exhilarating finish with the national round last July 1, 2022 at the Clark International Speedway.
Among the 16 e-racers, TGR Vios Cup veteran and champion Estefano Rivera showed exceptional performance to take the top spot in the Sporting Class, with Russel Reyes and Jether Miole following right behind him in the second and third spots.
Meanwhile, up-and-coming eracer Topher Tejada claimed the title of champion for the Promotional Class, followed by Matthew Spencer Ang and Aaron Christian Asence in second and third place.
Rivera, Reyes and Tejada then took a step closer to the international scene when they were chosen to represent Team Toyota Philippines in the Asia Regional Rounds, where they will be competing against some of the best e-racers from Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand.
Amid their preparations for the Asia regional finals, the new team visited the Toyota booth on the last day of the recently held 8th Philippine International Motor Show on Sept. 18. The three guys took the GR GT Cup racing rigs for a quick practice play with visitors. They also greeted and invited their fans to support them at the Asia regional finals.
Fans can show their support by giving heart-pumping cheers for Team Toyota Philippines during the broadcast on Oct. 9, 6 p.m. on the Toyota Motor Philippines and Toyota Gazoo Racing Philippines Facebook pages.
Team Toyota Philippines is preparing to ace the races with the support of official connectivity partner, PLDT Enterprise.
