The 2023 edition will showcase a stellar lineup of seasoned and up-and-coming racers competing in the Super Sporting, Sporting, and Promotional classes of the Circuit Championship event. Additionally, celebrity and media personalities will test their driving skills in the Autocross Challenge.
Since its inception in 2014, the TGR Vios Cup has brought the thrill of racing closer to Filipinos by inviting racers from professional and amateur teams to compete in the one-make-race (OMR) format using the beloved Toyota Vios sedan.
Traditionally held at the renowned Clark International Speedway in Pampanga, the OMR series has also expanded to other locations such as Cebu, Alabang, Pasay, and Taguig, providing racing enthusiasts with unforgettable experiences.
To nurture Filipino racing talents and give everyone a chance to fulfill their racing dreams, Toyota Motor Philippines conducts racing classes through the TGR Academy. In May, aspiring racers had the opportunity to learn the basics of racing from Vios Cup veterans as they took the wheel of the OMR Vios at the Clark International Speedway.
Mark your calendars and join the TGR Vios Cup 2023 for a thrilling day of racing excitement that will leave you on the edge of your seat. Don’t miss this chance to be part of the action and witness the passion and skill of these incredible racers.
