Toyota calls the experience of going fast in a Vios “waku-doki”, which the Urban Dictionary defines as “the feeling of anticipation and that adrenaline rush you get when you do something exciting. It's a feeling you can’t really describe and is so intense that your heart beats faster and you are almost trembling with nervous excitement.”
Really, you can get a kick like that in Vios? That is why the good guys of Toyota came up with the Vios Racing Festival—to prove the point. But not only have they given their small but mighty Vios racing stripes, they’ve also gone on to transform the racing fest into an out-and-out petrol party.
This weekend at the Clark International Speedway, celebrities, car club members, Toyota owners, and motoring media take it pedal-to-the-metal with take the Vios to its limits. On the celebrity list: Gretchen Ho, Chie Filomeno, Fabio Ide, Troy Montero, Aubrey Miles, Daniel Matsunaga, and Gerald Anderson. They will all see action as they compete at the tracks using the Vios race car.
There will also be some sort of red-carpet welcome for a Toyota icon: the GR Supra will mark its return to the Vios Racing Festival race track since its first official Philippine appearance during the previous leg. This time, Toyota’s flagship race model will join in the action as the official pace car of the circuit races.
Admission to the event is free, and there will be shuttles available to the public from SM City Clark going to the venue. The event can also be streamed via Toyota’s official Facebook page.
