Vios Challenge adds excitement to 2025 Super GT Malaysia

The one make racing event, Vios Challenge, was exceptionally unique this time as it featured a different format compared to the previous two races.

For the first time, the Vios Challenge made its international debut concurrently with the Autobacs Super GT round in Malaysia, held from June 26-28.

Additionally, this second round of the 8th season of the Vios Challenge introduced a one-hour race format covering a total distance of 5.543 km, as opposed to the previous 10-lap sprint races that utilized half of the Sepang circuit.

To make the race more exciting, all 36 drivers from three racing classes (Super Sporting, Sporting, and Rookie) were released simultaneously, which significantly increased the challenge and provided a fairer opportunity for all competitors.

This was reflected in the final results of both races, where podium positions varied for each racing class.

The Vios Challenge still has two rounds remaining, with the third round scheduled to coincide with the Malaysia Championship Series (MCS) on August 8-10.

Meanwhile, the fourth round is planned for October 2025 in Johor, with the exact location and date to be announced later.
