Toyota Gazoo Racing has organized the GR GT Cup to celebrate the rich motorsports history of Toyota Motor Philippines from the now famous Vios Cup. The Toyota GR GT Cup allows racers of any age to experience "waku doki" or the power of a thrill, without having to leave home.

In a statement, Toyota Motor Philippines Vice President for Marketing Services Elijah Marcial said, “We are eager to bring waku doki in Filipino homes, especially in these trying times where almost everyone is encouraged to stay safe at home. It is equally a wonderful time for emerging Filipino gamers and champions to hone their talent and win the GR GT Cup. We are excited to meet the fastest Filipino driver this year.”

Even beyond the limits of the pandemic, Toyota stays true to its commitment in providing the experience of waku doki for both professional and novice drivers through the GR GT Cup.

The races will be streamed at the official Facebook page of Toyota Motor Philippines at facebook.com/ToyotaMotorPhilippines. To see the full mechanics, log on to toyota.com.ph/gtcup.
