Toyota Gazoo Racing Philippine Cup Heads To The Batangas Racing Circuit For The First Time This August 15


The Toyota Gazoo Racing Philippine Cup heads to the Batangas Racing Circuit for the first time. The third leg of the premier racing series is happening this Saturday, August 15. The races are open to the public and admission is free.

Racing fans can expect wheel-to-wheel action at the country’s oldest permanent racing circuit. Located in Rosario, Batangas, the 3.5-kilometer circuit is known for its highly technical 20-turn layout. Witness the Super Sporting, Sporting, and Legacy classes go head-to-head in the Vios one-make racecar (OMR), and the Tamaraw class in the Tamaraw OMR.

The Vios OMRs will continue to use E20 fuel, a 20 percent bio-ethanol blend, while the Tamaraw OMRs will continue to be powered by B5 fuel, a 5 percent coco-biodiesel blend. This initiative to use low-carbon biofuels began in the previous race weekend and aims to support national energy security and the development of biofuel supply chains through multi-stakeholder collaboration including the agricultural sector.

“As a new track for our Vios OMRs and Tamaraw OMRs, BRC will be an exciting challenge for our drivers. Our aim at Toyota Gazoo Racing has always been to provide opportunities for racers to push the limits for better and to bring racing closer to different car communities. We hope this new racetrack will reignite the passion of our racers and existing fans, and attract the interest of people getting into motorsports,” shared TMP Senior Vice President for Marketing Sherwin Chua-Lim.

“We have received positive feedback from the racers on how biodiesel and bioethanol blend fuels perform on extreme conditions, so we are further studying the feasibility of continuing the use of these low-carbon fuels for our succeeding motorsports events. While we continue to face energy security issues in the country, we hope this initiative will result in improved knowledge on the positive benefits of higher biofuel blends for wider use of motorists,” shared TMP First Vice President for Corporate Affairs Josephine Villanueva.

Race Weekend 3 of the 2026 TGR Philippine Cup will also be broadcast live on Toyota Gazoo Racing Philippines’ Facebook page.
