Final leg of 2024 Toyota Gazoo Racing Philippine Cup to be held this weekend
The 2024 season of the Toyota Gazoo Racing (TGR) Philippine Cup is about to come to a close as its final leg is all set to happen this coming November 9 (Saturday) at the Clark International Speedway in Clark Freeport, Pampanga.
As with previous legs of this year’s season, the final race weekend of the country’s largest one-make race (OMR) series, utilizing the market’s bestselling Toyota Vios in OMR form, will feature Sprint Races for the Novice, Promotional, Sporting, and Super Sporting Classes.
Racers will be awarded points based on their finishing order with the highest scoring racer at the end of all three race weekends to be declared the season winner.
Concluding the day will be the season’s final Endurance Race where racers in all classes will put their skills to the test in a 1.5-hour circuit race. Points from the endurance race are added to the overall tally of scores.
Between the Sprint and Endurance Races, owners of GR performance cars who are car club members will get the opportunity to take their vehicles out for an exclusive track experience. Local fans of the Japanese automaker’s Gazoo Racing lineup of performance cars can take in the sight and sound of these super cars running on the track mid-afternoon.
A drifting exhibition will also be performed by professional drifters using the GR86. A few lucky spectators may also get the chance to experience the exhibition themselves as a passenger, or even hot laps around the track with the GR Yaris or GR Supra.
Visitors may also try out sim racing at the TGR GT Cup experience booth located in the activity area. Various booths where original merchandise from sponsors can be purchased, or for games where guests may win official TGR merchandise will also be available.
“It’s the last race weekend of the season, so we are working to make it the most thrilling one yet. We have a lot of activities lined up, both on track and in the activity area, so we hope fans can come and experience the fun to drive spirit with us,” said Toyota Motor Philippines Vice President for Marketing Services Division Mr. Elvin Luciano.
As it has always been, admission to the TGR Philippine Cup is open to the public free of charge. A shuttle service will also be provided from SM City Clark to the Clark International Speedwat and vice versa from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
