There’s still time to chase the racing dream. Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) has officially extended the qualifying period for the TOYOTA GAZOO Racing (TGR) Philippines eSports GT Championship 2025 until September 28, giving more aspiring sim racers a chance to secure their spot on the virtual grid.
The extended qualifiers will determine the Top 40 drivers who will advance to the quarterfinals at Ayala Malls Manila Bay on October 11. The semifinals and national finals will follow the next day, October 12, at the same venue.
Winners will take home cash prizes, exclusive GR merchandise, and an opportunity to train under the TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Academy. The Top 3 finishers will also represent the Philippines at the prestigious TGR eSports GT Championship Asia Finals in Thailand this November.
