Gear up for heart-racing fun as the country’s number one automotive brand heats up your summer with the Vios Autocross Challenge this coming April 28, 2019 (Sunday), 9:00 AM at Block 16, Mall of Asia open grounds. Admission is free, so everyone is invited to come and support their favorite celebrity racers Gerald Anderson, Daniel Matsunaga, Chie Filomeno, Gretchen Ho, Aubrey Miles, Troy Montero, and Fabio Ide as they compete at the autocross tracks with other racers.
“Toyota wants to make racing an accessible sport for the ordinary Filipino by providing an extraordinary opportunity to get themselves started, fueled by their passion for motorsports,” saidMr. Satoru Suzuki, President of Toyota Motor Philippines.
The Vios Autocross Challenge is a new addition to the standard circuit racing format. It is a timed competition wherein drivers navigate through an obstacle course one at a time, aiming to finish the track within the shortest lap time possible.
This new format will be more amateur-friendly than a standard circuit race, where all participants are simultaneously racing against each other. The adrenaline factor is retained through several mechanics which highlight driving precision: for example, every pylon hit adds 2 seconds on top of the racer’s final lap time.
In order to promote a more inclusive racing scene that fosters friendly competition, drivers from different backgrounds are invited: celebrities, social media influencers, car club members, new Vios owners, motoring journalists, and now even loyal Toyota patrons.
Yes, you heard (or read) that right! Toyota owners can now get the chance to be official racers at the Vios Autocross Challenge. Interested Toyota owners may visit Toyota’s Facebook page to participate in an online game that will determine who gets the chance to be a racer for the weekend.
The online promo on Facebook is open to all Toyota owners—regardless of model and year—that can drive a Manual Transmission vehicle. Toyota Motor Philippines will be lending out race-ready Vios units during the event day to at least 5 lucky participants with the best-captioned entries. The official Facebook post can be accessed by clicking here.
Chosen entries will be announced via Facebook. Toyota representatives will contact the winners for further participation instructions.
