Toyota gears up for Vios Cup street race at Mall of Asia

Toyota Motor Philippines is gearing up for the 2015 Vios Cup third leg slated on September 5-6, 2015 at Mall of Asia, Bayside road in Pasay city. After taking the heat to various locations across the country, Toyota has set its eyes on bringing the waku-doki motorsports experience back to the heart of Manila.

In a statement, Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) President Michinobu Sugata said that “Last year, we brought the season-ending race in Manila particularly Mckinley West where thousands of spectators witnessed how we stage waku-doki! Today, it is only fitting that we bring back the biggest local racing event here in Manila after a successful leg at the Queen City of the Philippines, Cebu… It has always been my dream to bring the race closer to the people and having this year’s Vios Cup staged in the Bayside area will surely help spectators from around the metro catch the heart-pounding wheel-to-wheel adrenaline of each grid live and in action.”

This year, a total of 48 racers composed of 40 individual teams and 8 celebrity racers will battle it out to see who can really put the pedal to the metal! Race grids will consist of 3 main categories: Sporting class, Promotional class, and Celebrity class with each category crowning their respective champions. Motorsports fans and spectators can expect celebrity racing pioneers such as the reigning Vios Cup champion, DJ Sam YG, Phoemela Bernarda, Derek Ramsey, and Jasmine Curtis to be amongst the race participants who will heat up and burn rubber on the streets of Bayside road.

As Toyota brings the Vios Cup back to Manila, it promises nothing short of waku-doki all the way. Food trucks and live performances from various bands and artists will be hyping up the energy on ground. The 2015 Vios Cup Manila leg will definitely be one for the books and one that motorsports fans, gearheads, and car enthusiasts shouldn’t miss.

The 2015 Vios Cup is in partnership with Bridgestone and Rota, supported by Motul, TRD, Brembo, Denso, AVT, OMP and Tuason Racing. For more updates and information about the Vios Cup, you may visit www.toyota.com.ph or Toyota’s official Facebook page at ToyotaMotorPhilippines.
