One make races are a way for car companies to raise interest in their cars and also at the same time, an opportunity to increase grassroots motorsports opportunities. Season 4 of Toyota Gazoo Racing (TGR) Malaysia Vios Challenge Cup is one of those motorsports tournaments and it is currently underway.
