This year’s finalists showcase the region’s top e-racing talent, with competitors from around the region. Among them are defending top-three racer Andika Rama from Indonesia, who has maintained his position over the past two years, and crowd favourites Taj Aiman from Malaysia and Thanaphat Pungphat from Thailand, both of whom have been fan favourites since their debut in 2022.

The top three racers from each country, having qualified through local races, will now compete in the GR GT Cup Asia Finals in Malaysia. These 15 e-Motorsports racers will go head-to-head in three thrilling races on iconic circuits at the Regional Finals.
