The number one automotive company in the country brings Waku-Doki further by bringing the second race of this season’s Toyota Vios Cup to the Queen City of the South, Cebu City. Coming in as the first motorsports festival in the Visayas region, gearheads and car fans in the said area can now witness the waku-doki experience first-hand. Slated on Saturday to Sunday, May 16 – 17, local motorsports will be driven into newer heights with 4 incoming Cebu-based racers now making a total of 44 drivers in the said racing event.
In a statement, Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) President Michinobu Sugata exclaimed “I am thrilled to announce that we are now bringing the Vios Cup to Cebu City. This waku-doki experience was staged in Manila last year and now to the beautiful city of Cebu, taking this local motorsports program another step further. This would not be possible if not for the support of the Government of Cebu City under the leadership of Mayor Michael Rama. I am delighted to know that Mayor Rama and myself share the same interest towards local motorsports. In partnership with the South Road Property (SRP) Administration, Cebu City Traffic Operations Management (CITOM), DPWH Cebu, and Toyota Cebu-Mandaue South…the dream of bringing the Vios Cup to Cebu City has finally become a reality.”
