Non-stop action marks Round 2 of Toyota Gazoo Racing Vios Challenge; over 3.7 million online views!

Over 3.7 million online viewers witnessed an exciting weekend of night racing at the Sepang International Circuit during last weekend's Round 2 of the Toyota Gazoo Racing Vios Challenge.

Race 2 was particularly intense as competitors from all four classes battled for championship points, as the competition for the overall titles in the Super Sporting, Sporting, Rookie, and Promotional classes remains wide open, with the final round scheduled for September.

In Race 2 of the Sporting Class, Kenneth Koh seized the lead from pole-sitter Sharique Zulqarnain, who struggled at the start. Bradley Benedict Anthony eventually overtook Koh and claimed victory, closely followed by Koh and Aaron Haikal.

The Super Sporting Class race featured a reverse grid format, with Hayden Haikal emerging as the leader until the race was red-flagged. Putera Adam secured the lead after the restart and held off challenges from Freddie Ang to secure the win.

The battle in the Rookie Class was won by Elson Lew, who bounced back from a poor start in Race 1. The Promotional Class race was halted due to an incident involving Shukry Yahaya and Hefny Sahad, but Zizan Razak managed to maintain his lead and fend off Ezzrin Loy's constant pressure to secure victory.
