Toyota Motor Philippines officially concluded its GAZOO Racing Vios Cup with a bang. Around 55 racers from all classes were present at the Clark International Speedway last November 19, 2022 to spectate the ultimate finale and decide the results of this long-awaited event.

Despite the pouring rain and damp conditions on the track, the racers fought nail and tooth to secure wins across the board. It was even made more interesting as the racers had to strategize to make up for limited traction.

For Race 9’s Promotional Class Winners, it was Jay Lao of OTR Racing Team who ultimately won the top podium finish, with Ian Rosales of Toyota Team Cebu placing second, and Alain Alzona of the Alzona Racing Team taking the third spot.

Sporting Class racer Joaquin Garrido of the Obengers Racing Team championed Race 9, with Michael Keilani Jordan of Jordan Racing Team finishing second, and Jiro Garbes of Toyota San Fernando completing the top 3. It was quite an eventful weekend for the Obengers Racing Team as Inigo Anton also bagged the top spot for Race 9’s Super Sporting Class, with Red Diwa finishing second, and John Dizon, also from Obengers Racing, finishing in third.

Meanwhile, those in the Autocross Challenge of the TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Vios Cup were not left without struggles either. Flying around the cones at breakneck speed also proved to be a challenge amidst wet pavement.

For the Media Promotional Class, Pablo Salapantan still finished on top, with Siegwald Go advancing to second place and Riz Javier claiming the third spot. Media Sporting Class also saw Jan Lacuna keeping his podium spot, with Ronald Delos Reyes and Kevin Franciso finishing second, and third respectively.

The influencers also brought out their skills behind the wheel. Bringing home the Promotional Class top spot was Miguel Romulo, who bested two other strong contenders, Ashley Gosiengifiao, who finished second, and Carla Lizardo, who took third place. It was a quick rise to the top spot for Enzo Pineda, who championed the Influencer Sporting Class, with Jules Aquino and Aaron Villaflor eventually claiming the second and third spots, respectively.

In the GR GT Cup Class of Autocross Challenge, Russel Reyes reigned as champion. His performance elevated from being second during the previous leg to now gaining the top spot. Jether Miole finished second, while Mark Elman claimed the third spot.

Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) is proud to close this year’s iteration of the momentous event. However, next year for the Toyota GAZOO Racing Vios Cup should only become more heated as the brand aims to make it even bigger and better. Enthusiasts and fans of the brand surely have so much to look forward to moving forward.
