Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) is holding the fourth and final race weekend of the 2026 TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Philippine Cup season on October 22-24 at the Clark International Speedway in Mabalacat, Pampanga. The event is open to the public and admission is FREE.

The season finale is set to bring bigger thrills as the races deliver double the points, pushing drivers to the limits for better to secure their place on the podium.

Leading the standings as of Race Weekend 3 are Red Diwa for the Super Sporting Class, Bern Zaragoza for the Sporting Class, and Iñigo Anton for the Tamaraw Class.

Aside from the sprint and endurance races, fans can look forward to fun side activities such as the remote-controlled RC track and simulator racing rigs.

Enthusiasts looking to mod their rides can also visit the sponsors’ booths, while those in the mood to elevate their wardrobe can check out the new lineup of official GAZOO Racing merchandise.

Fans who have been following the TGR Philippine Cup are in for an exciting 2027 season, with an addition that is sure to bring greater thrills to the series. Details will be announced during Race Weekend 4.

“We hope the developments we are planning for the 2027 season will attract new motorsports fans,” shared TMP first vice president for Vehicle Sales Operations Elijah Marcial.

“It has always been our mantra at TGR Philippines to continue pushing the limits for better, not just for the activities we are already doing, but also when looking for new ways to bring the thrill closer to Filipino motorsport fans,” she added.

Race Weekend 4 of the 2026 TGR Philippine Cup will also be broadcast live on TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Philippines’ Facebook Page.

The TGR Philippine Cup has been serving as a “rolling laboratory” since Race Weekend 2 in July, when TMP first introduced the use of low-carbon biofuels for the One-Make Races (OMR) of the Vios and Tamaraw.

TMP has been testing E20 fuel, a 20 percent bio-ethanol blend, on the Vios, and B5 fuel, a 5 percent coco-biodiesel blend, on the Tamaraw as part of efforts to test alternative solutions toward energy security while supporting the country’s agricultural sector and the decarbonization of the transportation sector.

Race Weekend 4 will mark the culmination of this rolling laboratory initiative, with key findings to be consolidated and shared by TMP to relevant stakeholders to support informed and productive applications moving forward.
