Three legs scheduled this year

The country’s premiere one-make race series is set to start early this year.

Toyota Motor Philippines has announced the dates for the 11th season of the Toyota Gazoo Racing Philippine Cup. Formerly known as the Vios Cup / Vios Racing Festival, this year’s edition of the TGR Philippine Cup will be held over three race weekends beginning in March 20-22 for Race Weekend 1, May 16-18 for Race Weekend 2, and the finale for August 7-9, 2025.

TMP is yet to give further details about venues and racing formats for this season, so this makes us think they might have a surprise for everyone this 2025. However, for the main feature of the TGR Philippine Cup which is the Vios one-make race, teams and drivers are likely to carry on with the existing Vios race cars than the new AC100 Vios based on the DNGA platform.

Unlike last year where the first race was held in July, TMP could be taking advantage of summer weather for the first two race weekends while the finale could spring another exciting challenge for drivers as usually the weather in August is rainy and wet.

The Toyota GR Yaris with 8-speed AT could also have its Philippine market premiere at one of the legs of the TGR Philippine Cup, as TMP has already secured the homologation documents and regulatory approval for the model.

That said, stay tuned as we confirm more details as we move closer to the first race day of the 2025 Toyota Gazoo Racing Philippine Cup.
