Bangkok Battle Begins

The TGR Asia eSports GT Championship 2025 opened with tight racing and a closely packed field in Bangkok, but the overall winner has yet to be announced as of November 24. Indonesia’s top sim racer, Andika Rama Maulana, referred to as Andri Rama or Ramstig, set the pace by winning the first sprint race of the finals.

This year’s competition gathered fifteen drivers from across Asia, representing Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines.

Team Philippines entered a three-man lineup: Victor Ancheta, Enzo Ison, and Matthew Ang, all of whom delivered solid qualifying results for Sprint 1. Ison secured P5, Ang followed in P6, and Ancheta landed P12, setting the stage for a strong showing.

Rama, a former Asia champion, converted his early speed into a clean Sprint 1 victory. His experience in platform racing again proved decisive as he held off challenges in the opening round.

With several races still scheduled through late November, the team standings remain close. Following Sprint 1, the Philippines and Thailand are tied at 17 points each, placing both nations in strong contention for the championship.

The finals continue in Bangkok, where the remaining sprints and feature races will determine the region’s next GT esports champion.
