TGR street race to be held South of Manila in Villar City
On May 24 and 25, Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) will host Race Weekend 2 of the 2025 Toyota Gazoo Racing Philippine Cup (TGR Philippine Cup) season, reviving the excitement of street racing. The eagerly awaited event will take place in Villar City, south of Manila, and will be the first time the racing series has been on the streets since 2018.
Everyone is welcome to the event. To obtain their pass, interested attendees simply need to register at https://www.tgrphcup.com/. It’s free to enter.
The Qualifying and opening Sprint Race of the weekend will heat up the track on Saturday, the first of two days of the race weekend. The second and third Sprint Races will take place on Sunday. On both days, there will also be Gymkhana and Car Club exhibitions, as well as Drag Races. The TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Philippines Facebook and YouTube accounts will provide live coverage of both days.
Previously known as the TGR Vios Cup, the TGR Philippine Cup has held street races in Alabang, Muntinlupa City; Cebu City; McKinley, Taguig City and Pasay City. This will be the first time the street race will be held in Villar City. With their tight corners and long straights, street races have been a favorite of both racers and spectators, providing memorable wheel-to-wheel racing and exciting fan activities.
Event goers can look forward to adrenaline-pumping action on track while enjoying side activities, including vehicle displays and test drives, sim racing rigs, food concessionaires, original GR merchandise, and live entertainment. OPM powerhouses Rico Blanco and Parokya ni Edgar will be tearing down the stage on May 24, while Ely Buendia and Bamboo will be rocking it out on May 25.
There will also be special event-exclusive promos on Toyota vehicles for those on the lookout for a fresh, new ride during the race weekend. More details will be announced soon.
“We have heard how much the racers and fans wanted to bring back the street race after the successful ones we’ve had in Metro Manila and Metro Cebu. With the races closer to the Metro, we hope more people will come to experience the thrill and joy of motorsports for themselves and perhaps even discover a passion for speed and all things racing,” shared TMP Assistant Vice President for Marketing Services Andy Ty.
