Manufacturers Cup

Each manufacturer fields a team of three drivers, one representing each region from the Online Qualifiers. In Tokyo, the majority of these competitors will hail from the Asia-Oceania Region. While these drivers will race as part of their teams at the World Finals, this event offers them a unique opportunity to shine individually.
