New Name, Clearer Direction, Bigger Grids
The MTCC 2025 season introduces a enhanced class framework designed to support
transparent, fair, and competitive racing:
- MTC – Dedicated to turbocharged engines 1.6L and below, emphasizing close, highintensity racing.
- TP2 (formerly SP1) and MT2 (formerly SP2) – Feature expanded eligibility to include newgeneration performance models such as the Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ, enhancing the diversity and appeal of the grid.
- MT2 – Implements pit stop time penalties for Grade A drivers to maintain performance balance and fair racing.
- TP – Maintains its single-driver-only format, offering a true test of individual skill, strategy, and endurance.
This structured format aligns with MTCC’s vision of achieving full-grid participation up to 80 cars each round, setting new benchmarks for touring car both locally and regionally.

establishing itself as a key pillar within the Southeast Asian motorsport ecosystem.

Innovation with Purpose
Beyond the racetrack, MTCC serves as a live testing ground for the automotive industry, facilitating real-world innovation in braking, suspension, and engine performance. At the same time, it promotes the values of safe, responsible driving by reinforcing that speed, when governed by discipline, skill, and standards.
