The decision to bring the series to a new track comes in line with TGR’s mantra of pushing the limits for better by bringing the prestigious racing championship to territory that’s challenging, serving as a test that’s tough enough for both drivers and cars alike.

TMP continued the use of biofuels in Race Weekend 3, which also served as the second leg of its “rolling laboratory” as it pursues its mission to advance more sustainable motorsports. The Vios one-make race car or OMR continues to be powered by an E20 bio-ethanol blend, while the Tamaraw OMR ran on a B5 coco-biodiesel blend.

The action of the weekend started intense and physical as the first race of the event, the mixed Sporting and Super Sporting Class Sprint Race 8 and Legacy Class Sprint Race 6, began with a dramatic and chaotic multi-car collision not even 10 seconds into lights out. The incident saw one car, that of Julia de los Angeles, spin out into the track and get taken out of the running.

The chaos of the opening moments of that race led Red Diwa to take first in the Super Sporting Class, which he maintained throughout the entire sprint. Alain Alzona passed Michael Bryan Co in that race to finish third on the podium, while Joaquin Garrido secured second place.

Another tense moment happened in the last race of the day, the Tamaraw Class Sprint Race 9, where TGR driver Enzo Ison’s car, dragged down with debris hanging from its side, collided with the car of teammate Will Lucas and spun out of control. Jesse Garcia, who won the Tamaraw Class Sprint Race 7, and Russel Reyes also got taken out with collisions late in the race.

Raymond Cudala took the lead very early in that same race, which left a nailbiter race for those aiming to secure a podium finish. The spots were eventually taken by Iñigo Anton and Oliver Aquino, respectively.

Alzona, who had two first-place finishes in three Super Sporting Class sprints that day, displayed calm, collected, and confident driving, secured his top spot in Sprint Race 9 with a masterful pass on the leading Michael Bryan Co just before the first turn. Co tried to stay close to take back the lead, but Alzona maintained his defense and composed driving to retain his spot all throughout and win the race.

“Batangas Racing Circuit is a true racer’s track—fast, technical, and relentlessly demanding. For drivers who trust their craft, BRC has long been a dream circuit: a place that tests both skill and courage. As BRC celebrates its 30th anniversary, I am incredibly proud that TMP was able to bring the TGR Philippine Cup here for the very first time,” shared TMP President Masando Hashimoto.
