The overall Team Award was handed to the Obengers Racing Team, reflecting its collective effort and skills on and off track.

Toyota continues to grow motorsports in the country with the Vios Cup

As the name suggests, the Vios Cup is a one-make race event that exclusively uses Toyota Vios units. The Vios cars used in the said event, however, it is not your ordinary daily small sedan. That’s because the Vios One Make Race (OMR) cars come with modifications such as improved suspension, roll cages for safety, and weight reduction, among others.

“Toyota Gazoo Racing Vios Cup is one of our most celebrated milestones. This would not be possible without you, our racers, and the whole team behind every driver. You gave life to this motorsports program,” said TMP First Vice President for Vehicle Sales Operations Danny Cruz.
