Catch the Vios cup car do its thing this weekend
Of note, the TGR Vios Cup is a one-make race that’s been around since 2014. According to Toyota, this racing series is not only home to the country’s finest drivers but also functions as a place to start for aspiring racers.
Being a one-make race series, only one car is utilized by all for this event. To this end, the other star of the TGR Vios cup is the Vios OMR cars. All of them are heavily modified to handle the rigors of racing.
These race-spec Vios units, despite sporting the stock 1.5-liter 2NR-FE, are quite agile and significantly faster than your regular Vios. If you want to learn more about these cars, they have been described in detail in our coverage of the 2022 Toyota Philippines GR Festival.
Other than the Vios OMR cars, audiences will also get to preview the upcoming Toyota GR 86 in action.
Trust us when we say that these are a hoot to drive
