Of note, the three are notable participants of the TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Gran Turismo Cup Philippines National Leg. This took place at Clark International Speedway last July 1, 2022.
These include the TGR Vios Cup veteran and recent National Leg Sporting Class champion Estefano Rivera, Sporting Class Runner-up Russel Reyes, and Promotional Class Champion Topher Tejada. At the upcoming Asia Regional Leg, they will be facing equally fierce competitors from Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, and Thailand.
The three who will advance to the Asia Regional Cup also made an appearance at the 8th Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS) last September 18, 2022. During the event, TMP had also set up several e-racing rigs within their pavilion.
For those who are unfamiliar with the GR GT Cup, it’s a Toyota-sanctioned e-racing series performed in the digital confines of Gran Turismo. Gran Turismo in turn is one of the most realistic racing simulation video games on the market right now.
