The 2011 Tamiya Asia Cup Philippine Qualifier was a gruelling 14 race series from January to August. There were several rc car classes.

Jr. Stock - For those under 15 years old.

Super Stock - Tamiya TT01 cars with stock motors.

F1 - Tamiya F104 Formula One cars.

Mini - Tamiya M05 and M06 M-chassis models.

GT - Tamiya TA05 and TA06 4wd r/c cars with modified motors.

FWD - Tamiya FF03 front wheel drive.

The winners will be fully sponsored to travel and compete in the Tamiya Asia Cup 2011 Regionals in Singapore. Here are the results.
