Taj Izrin Aiman Taj Madira, Nabil Azlan and Ethen Low will represent Malaysia at the 2026 TGR Asia Esport GT Championship, scheduled for 14–15 November at Jiospace in Petaling Jaya. Toyota Motor Asia is organising the simulator racing competition.

Malaysia will face Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines, with drivers using Gran Turismo 7 on Sony PlayStation to compete for individual and team honours.

Taj Izrin Aiman, 27, enters as the reigning Asian Games gold medallist. He won the regional TGR title in 2024 and has four TGR Malaysia eRacing championships. Making his seventh appearance for Malaysia at the regional event, he said he hoped to regain the individual crown and help Malaysia win the team title.

Nabil, 24, recently took gold at the Asia Pacific Motorsports Championship and is seeking his first TGR Asia title. The 2025 TGR Malaysia eRacing Pro champion has also won the Vios Challenge’s Rookie and Sporting Class titles after moving from simulator competition into real-world racing.

Low, 16, will make his second international appearance following a semi-final exit at the Asia Pacific Motorsports Championship. He holds the 2025 TGR Malaysia eRacing Junior title and is joint first in the 2026 Vios Challenge Rookie Class, with two races left.

The Asia final features a Super Formula race lasting 25 minutes at Fuji Speedway. In the team competition, drivers will use the GR Supra Racing Concept for a 20-minute contest on Grand Valley Highway – 1.
