SHAH ALAM: The People’s Race returns when the Toyota GAZOO Racing Festival reopens its doors to the public on June 25-26 for the first time in two years with a celebration of fun-filled on-ground activities and programs for the family against the backdrop of live racing drama on the track at the Sepang International Circuit.
To make up for the two-year break because of the Covid-19 pandemic, festival organiser UMW Toyota Motor said it would be "bigger and more exciting".
Currently into its fifth season/year, the Vios Challenge features local celebrities, young drivers, amateurs and professionals.
The festival is a platform for Toyota to give back and to celebrate the people, thanking them for
their continued support of the brand, said UMW Toyota Motor President Ravindran K.
Fans can once again get up close and personal with their favourite celebrities who will be battling
it out in the Promotional Class.
Season 5’s line-up includes Season 4 champion and actor Shukri Yahaya; last year’s runner-up and actor Zizan Razak; television host Nabil Ahmad; actress Janna Nick; singers Wany Hasrita, Nabila Razali and Khai Bahar; TV personality Ahirine Ahiruddin; and actress and presenter Ain Edruce.
These celebrities will also be performing live over the weekend, and in addition, UMW Toyota Motor will also be organising a special concert featuring Malaysian rock band Bunkface on Saturday, and for the first time ever, staging an international act by Indonesian singer Judika on Sunday.
The festival ground will be abuzz with merchandise and promotional booths, carnival games and activities.
Entrance and parking to the festival, including the concert and the many programs available, is free.
Visitors however, must register their attendance at the Toyota GAZOO Racing Malaysia website to gain access to the festival.
For those who have yet to experience the Sepang International Circuit, a special All-Wheel
Fest invites those with non-motorised vehicles (bicycles, roller blades, skateboards, long boards,
push bikes, push scooters, etc) to take a spin around the 2.7km track.
There will also be a zumba session for fitness aficionados.
