Fasten your seatbelts, Gran Turismo Sport is coming to the Philippines.

The Toyota Motor Philippines will be holding a Gran Turismo tourney in July and will be looking to add to the numerous e-sports events amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

All categories of players can join, from casual to pro, and will feature different age brackets from 18 and above.

The PH e-racing event will be the GR Supra GT Cup Asia and is under the Toyota’s Gazoo racing motorsports program with all driving participants having the chance to use the 2020 GR Supra.

All the winners in the local competitions will then represent the Philippines in the regional finals, GR Supra GT Cup Asia.

Due to the cancelation of the annual Vios Racing Festival because of the pandemic, the Supra GT Cup was the alternative recently announced by Toyota.

“We look forward to a better 2021 Vios Racing Festival Season where we can go back to the tracks again and feel the heat and excitement. But for now, we invite everyone to join the GR Supra GT Cup Asia esports Program,” said Toyota Motor Philippines president Atsuhiro Okamoto.
