“Winning the 2025 TGR Asia eSports GT Championship is the result of months of preparation and sticking to our race strategies, even as other teams pushed hard and made aggressive pit calls,” said Rama. “We focused on refining our approach lap by lap, adjusting in real time while remaining true to our plan.
