Toyota Motor PH starts TGR PH Esports GT Championship campaign

MANILA: Shortly after concluding the third race weekend of the Toyota Gazoo Racing Philippine Cup, Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) has started the qualifiers for the TGR Philippines Esports GT Championship.

In a statement, the country's top automotive distributor shared that this year's tournament will introduce a new class.

Unlike before, when all participants vied for a spot on the podium under a single class, participants aged 18 and below may now register under the Junior Class, while the Sporting Class is open to those aged 19 and above.

The 10 fastest players in the two divisions will advance to the National Finals, to be held on September 27 at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay, where the three regional finals representatives will be determined.

Meanwhile, those who have their own PlayStation 4 or 5, a copy of Gran Turismo 7, an active PSN account, and a PS Plus subscription may opt for an online qualifier.
