Bringing together 15 drivers from Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand, the event will see established names and emerging talent go head-to-head across three races for individual and team honors and a share of the $31,000 prize pool. Representing Team Philippines are returning drivers Russel Reyes, 25, and Enzo Ison, 16, and newcomer Michael Velasquez, 26. Reyes competed in the Asia regional finals in 2022, 2023 and 2024, while Ison participated in 2024 and 2025. Indonesia’s Andika Rama will defend his title following victories in 2023 and 2025, while Malaysia’s Taj Aiman, the 2024 champion, will race on home ground in pursuit of another win. Singapore’s Ar Muhammad Aleef, the 2020 champion, completes the trio of former winners returning to challenge for the title. Following last year’s Finals in Bangkok, the championship continues TGR Asia’s commitment to growing the regional e-Motorsports community. “The Asia Finals bring together talented drivers from across the region, united by their passion for racing,” said Toyota Motor Asia Vice President Preston Tan. “We are thrilled to bring the competition back to Malaysia, where former champions and emerging talent will compete alongside one another. Through e-Motorsports, we hope to continue creating more opportunities for people to experience the excitement of racing and inspire the next generation of motorsport fans.”
