- 2026 champions crowned: Alain Gabriel Alzona won the Super Sporting Class, Bern Zaragoza claimed the Sporting Class title, and Iñigo Anton became the inaugural Tamaraw Class champion.
- GR 86 joins the grid in 2027: The GR 86 OMR made its first public showcase, with Toyota announcing a new GR 86 racing class for next season. Rookie Racing Garage Manila was also announced.
- A season powered by racing fans: The final race weekend featured sprint races, sim racing, RC cars, merchandise, and sponsor activities at Clark International Speedway.
The 2026 TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Philippine Cup has officially wrapped up after an exciting season of competition. Alain Gabriel Alzona of Toyota General Santos – Davao Racing, Bern Zaragoza of Resultado Racing, and Iñigo Anton of Obengers Racing emerged as champions in their respective classes following four competitive race weekends. The season finale took place on October 24 at Clark International Speedway in Mabalacat, Pampanga.
Vios one-make race cars (OMR) competed in the Super Sporting, Sporting, and Legacy Classes, while the Tamaraw OMRs went head-to-head in the Tamaraw Class.
SUPER SPORTING CLASS
The penultimate sprint race, which carried double points, delivered plenty of action in the Super Sporting Class. Starting from P2, Joaquin Garrido quickly took the lead at the first turn.
A few laps later, Red Diwa was sent off course and onto the grass following contact at the rear from Garrido. Despite the incident, Diwa managed to make his way back onto the track and recover his position. Garrido later encountered trouble of his own, forcing him to return to the pit before rejoining the race at the back of the field.
TAMARAW CLASS
The penultimate Tamaraw Class race also kept spectators on their toes, with a dramatic moment unfolding on the final lap. While battling Oliver Aquino, Raymond Cudala veered off course at a corner, surrendering the lead he had maintained throughout the race.
David Enzo Ison crossed the finish line first, but a time penalty for exceeding track limits eventually dropped him to third place.
THE GR 86 OMR’S FIRST PUBLIC SHOWCASE
Race Weekend 4 of the TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Philippine Cup offered more than just competitive racing, bringing together motorsports and automotive enthusiasts for a weekend of activities and special announcements.
One of the highlights was the public track showcase of the GR 86 OMR, alongside the announcement of the new GR 86 Class, which will join the competition in the 2027 season. TMP President Masando Hashimoto also revealed plans for Rookie Racing Garage Manila, a new home in the Philippines for people who share a passion for cars.

“Despite the challenges we faced this year, we continued to race with a purpose. Throughout the 2026 season, we learned, tested, improved, and pushed ourselves forward. As always, we use motorsports as a platform to help shape a better future for mobility,” shared Hashimoto.
“While this season may be ending, our journey is entering an exciting new chapter. We look forward to welcoming a new generation of drivers and enthusiasts as we expand our racing platform to three one make race classes: the Vios, the Tamaraw, and now, the GR86,” he added.
Beyond the races, attendees also got to try the sim racing rigs, take remote-controlled cars around a miniature off-road track, browse official GAZOO Racing merchandise, and explore car parts and accessories at the sponsors’ booths.
Following a successful 2026 season, Toyota Motor Philippines continues to push the boundaries of motorsports and mobility. This year’s competition would not have been possible without the dedication of the racers, their teams, partners, and the continued support of fans.
