Toyota Gazoo Racing PH Cup makes BRC debut

MANILA: The Toyota Gazoo Racing (TGR) Philippine Cup capped a successful debut at the Batangas Racing Circuit (BRC). 

For the one-make race series’ third leg in 2026, it brought to life its 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. 

“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 (Toyota Motor Philippines) was able to bring the TGR Philippine Cup here for the very first time,” TMP President Masando Hashimoto was quoted as saying.

Rolling lab 

TMP continues it strides in making motorsport more sustainable with the use of biofuels in Race Weekend 3.
