The virtual racing challenge compliments the high-performance activities of Toyota including the imminent introduction of the Toyota GR Supra and GR Garage – UMW Toyota’s dedicated performance show galleries.
Through eSports, the company hopes to engage even more racing fans to be part of its high-octane activities. The TGR Velocity eSports Championship is open to all Malaysians aged 18 and above. To be part of the Grand Finals, racers will have to go through a time-trial phase Cove Esports in Bandar Sunway, Subang Jaya, Selangor on 31 August, 1, 14 and 15 September.
