The excitement is palpable as Team Philippines prepares to compete in the Gazoo Racing Gran Turismo (GR GT) Cup Asia Finals 2024, taking place today in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This thrilling e-Motorsports event, hosted by TOYOTA GAZOO Racing (TGR) Asia, showcases the top 15 finalists from across the region, including elite e-racers from the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand.
Representing the Philippines are standout competitors Luis Moreno, who finished second place at last year’s Asia finals, Russell Reyes and newcomer Enzo Ison. Their selection follows a rigorous National Finals at the SM Mall of Asia, where they triumphed over 40 of the country’s best sim racers.
The finals will unfold across three iconic race tracks—Sardegna Windmills, Nürburgring GP, and Fuji Speedway—each presenting unique challenges that will test the racers’ strategy, adaptability, and pace. The overall champion will be determined through a point system across these races, with the top two competitors earning a coveted spot in the Global Finals later this year.
Fans can catch all the action live, streamed on Toyota Gazoo Racing Asia’s and Toyota Gazoo Racing Philippines’ Facebook pages, ensuring that supporters back home can cheer on Team Philippines. The event promises not only to celebrate e-Motorsports but also to inspire the next generation of racers in the region. As TGR continues to push the boundaries of innovation in motorsports, the Gazoo Racing Gran Turismo Cup serves as a vital platform for emerging talent, blending the thrill of virtual racing with the spirit of competition.
