Quotes from the article

Toyota Kirloskar Motor has announced that the second edition of GT Cup e-motorsport championship will be coming to India. Registrations for the championship begin on August 2, 2021…
Participants will be driving the Toyota GR Yaris in the qualifying rounds, while racers will battle it out in the final race using a GR Supra…
We aim to bring in more elements of the TGR to the country via other events and activities

While this is an e-sport championship, it may explain the sightings of the GR Yaris which may have been brought in for promotional events.

After a bit of googling I learnt e-sport is not eVehicle racing. I must be getting old.
Do they live stream such events? I think they will be fun to watch just like real racing.

Haha yes, e-sports — watching pro video gamers play video games — is a huge thing now. I couldn't find the exact streaming link for this event but here's the homepage of the tournament.

If you're thinking of checking out e-sports, here are some interesting links…

• Twitch.tv — the mecca of game streaming. you can choose any game you want to watch and there will almost certainly be quite a few live streams happening. They've also recently branched out into arts so you can also watch artists create art in real-time.
• Lando Norris' Youtube channel — The McLaren F1 driver is a huge gamer and streams sim racing frequently. He is also joined at times by other F1 drivers like Charles Leclerc, Max Verstappen and George Russell. I personally find this a great avenue to interact with fans.

Last year when they had the Supra Cup I had participated in a quiz competition that came along with that, the prize was a PS4 I think.

Well anyway a month or so after that, I got a call from Toyota asking questions about Toyota and GR's image and impression in India and the youth stuff. And after that nothing, I think they didn't even announce the winners of the quiz competition and parts of the Gazoo Racing page were removed.
