    The results of the ongoing 2025 Toyota Gazoo Racing Philippines might be the jump-off to some of the drivers that will be part of the first TGR Philippines works team. 

    Additionally, with the TMP president himself finishing the races last weekend at the podium of the Toyota Gazoo Racing Philippine Cup 2025, we might see him at various motorsports competitions — after all Toyota’s slogan is “Start Your Impossible.”
