Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) is inviting all racing fans and car enthusiasts to the
August 31 leg of its grassroots motorsports series, the
Vios Racing Festival.
Experience waku-doki this weekend at the
Clark International Speedway as celebrities, car club members, Toyota owners, and motoring media take it pedal-to-the-metal with the Toyota Vios. To further elevate excitement for race fans, the
Toyota GR Supra will mark its return to the Vios Racing Festival race track since its first official Philippine appearance during the previous leg. This time, Toyota’s flagship race model will join in the action as the official pace car of the circuit races.
Admission to the event is free, and there will be shuttles available to the general public from SM City Clark going to the venue. Side events and activities will also be opened for the enjoyment of groups of friends or families.
The spectacle can also be streamed via Toyota’s official Facebook page at
Facebook.com/ToyotaMotorPhilippines.
Catch celebrity drivers Gretchen Ho, Chie Filomeno, Fabio Ide, Troy Montero, Aubrey Miles, Daniel Matsunaga, and Gerald Anderson in action as they compete at the tracks using the Vios racecar.
Scores garnered by the racers from the previous leg are being accumulated in order to declare the overall champions by the end of the 2019 season. This applies to both racing formats: the Vios Circuit Championship and the Vios Autocross Challenge.
