Toyota to crown GR Supra GT Cup Asia PH champions this Saturday

MANILA: Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) is set to declare the first-ever champions of the GR Supra GT Cup Asia Philippines right after the checkered flag at the third and final rounds this Saturday.

Online spectators can also catch celebrities like Gino Quillamor, Reph Bangsil, John Manalo, Krissha Viaje, Nico Salva, Erika Rabara, and Angelique Manto go wheel to wheel against motoring media personalities and TMP officials, including TMP President Atsuhiro Okamoto.

"The third round is crucial as racers will earn double points this time. Although we've seen some consistent racers leading in the first two rounds, it's still anybody's game at this point. We cannot wait to find out who will be showing the world that Filipinos can excel in the international e-motorsports arena," said TMP Vice President for Marketing Services Elijah Marcial.

Racers with the most points after three rounds will be declared the national GR Supra GT Cup Asia Philippines champions. One champion from the sporting class, and one from promotional class will advance to the Asian championship this October. The third member of Team Philippines will come from the media and celebrity class.

These champions will make up Team Toyota Motor Philippines and will race against the champions from other Asian Toyota distributors in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and India.

Aside from the prestige of representing the country as part of Team Toyota Motor Philippines, the champions, including the winner from the Junior Class, will win prize packages from TMP. Champions from Sporting, Promotional and Celebrity/Media classes will get a grand prize, including a much-coveted PlayStation5.

Don’t miss out on all the fun and the action this Saturday, September 26 at 8 p.m. The races will be streamed on TMP's official Facebook account, www.facebook.com/toyotamotorphilippines.

The GR Supra GT Cup Asia Philippines is one of TMP's programs, along with the long-running premier one-make race program the Vios Racing Festival, to promote the fun and excitement of motorsports and to make it accessible to more Filipino racing fans and car enthusiasts. Organized under the Toyota Gazoo Racing brand, e-motorsports aims to keep the waku-doki (heart-pumping excitement) spirit alive, despite quarantine, and social distancing guidelines.
