KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 21 — Here’s a great piece of news for all car fans – you can win a brand new Toyota Vios Sports Edition at this weekend’s Toyota Gazoo Racing (TGR) Racing Festival at the Malaysian Agro Exposition Park Serdang (MAEPS). There will also be lots of other attractive prizes for lucky visitors.
How can one win? All you have to do is to be there at the TGR Racing Festival, fill in a form and answer a few simple questions. All correctly answered submissions will then be qualified to win.
The entire weekend will be packed with motor racing action, drift performances, celebrity appearances, stage games and much more activities for everyone in the family. Food lovers too will be treated to some two dozen top food trucks offering an array of delectable local and international fare ranging from brewed coffee to coconut shakes; from nasi kukus to kim-chi fried rice.
The highlight of the weekend will certainly be the Vios Challenge races, particularly the Super Sporting Category where most of Malaysia’s top racing drivers will be competing for a win in the very first Vios Challenge. In MAEPS, all the drivers will be after the Prince of Drift Tengku Djan and ensure he does not repeat his clean sweep of the races like he did in the opening event in Batu Kawan in August.
With a wider circuit, longer straights and elevation changes, the course this weekend will likely favour the daring challengers namely Mark Darwin of Dreamchaser Team and William Ho, the two championship chasers who will be out to prevent a whitewash by Djan this time around.
Joining the fray will be veteran racer Keifli Othman who had to skip the opening event in Batu Kawan. He is determined to put a spanner in the works of the other racers as he has nothing to lose but everything to gain and will be putting his aggressive driving style to good use in the two races over the weekend.
In the Sporting Category too, the talented and bubbly Geraldine Read will be making her debut, driving under Team Excel Racing. The sole female racer in the competitive segment, Read drove the Vios in the Formula-1 Support Race recently and recently spent a day testing and setting up the car so she will be quietly confident in the coming race.
Another highly anticipated race will be the Promotional Category where celebrity drivers Fattah Amin, Shukri Yahaya, Diana Danielle, Janna Nick, Geraldine Gan, Danny Koo, Venice Min and Shawn Lee will be battling it out for glory. Beat-boxer Shawn took charge in both the races in Batu Kawan but Shukri Yahaya and the rest of the celebrities are determined to step up their pace for the race in MAEPS now that the jitters of the opening race have been dispensed with.
Apart from the eight racing celebrities who will make their way down to the Main Stage to meet their fans, Media Prima will also be bringing their Drama Sangat bus tour celebrities to the event including such luminaries as Bell Ngasri, Chacha Maembong, Izzue Ashaari, Nad Zainal, Puteri Aishah, Raja Afiq and Zoey Rahman. These celebrities will also be giving away lots of prizes and souvenirs during their meet and greet sessions.
For a master class display of precision driving, spectators should not miss the drift show by Japanese world champion drifters Masato Kawabata and Hideyuki Fujino. The pair will make their appearance courtesy of Gold Sponsors Toyo Tires, and will perform two 30-minute demonstrations daily, showcasing their driving prowess with modified Toyota 86 drift cars.
With the Toyota RM1million Bonanza promotion offering up to RM1 million still up for grabs for those who purchase a brand new Toyota before the end of the year, the Toyota GAZOO Racing (TGR) Racing Festival is an excellent opportunity to pick up a Toyota car as you will have the opportunity to view and test drive most of the new models right there at the venue. While you browse your favourite Toyota, be sure to look out too for the all-new Toyota C-HR that will be on display in the car show booth.
On site, there will also be an opportunity to test drive Toyota’s amazing Hilux on a specially-constructed obstacle course. The superior traction of the advanced 4x4 system will clearly be demonstrated on the challenging steel ramps.
Entrance to the Toyota GAZOO Racing Racing Festival is free and activities begin from 10am till 8pm daily.
