Manufacturers Cup

28 September at 17:00 (AEST)

The Manufacturers Cup pits the 12 highest-ranked manufacturers against each other, including those from our official partners Toyota, Genesis, and Mazda. Each manufacturer is represented by a team of three drivers, one from each Region of the Online Qualifiers. In Tokyo, most of the competing drivers will be from the Asia-Oceania Region.

Drivers will be racing alongside their team-mates at the World Finals, but this is their chance to show off their skills as individuals.
