The dry track of Clark International Speedway became witness to an exciting conclusion of the first Toyota Gazoo Racing (TGR) Philippine Cup by Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP). The combined Sprint and Endurance races proved to be challenging for everyone, especially under the Pampanga sun. That did not deter the drivers though as they all raced to the checkered flag.
Racing prodigy Iñigo Anton from Toyota Balintawak - Obengers Racing Team, back-to-back champ Alain Alzona from Toyota General Santos - Chooks-To-Go Racing Team, consistent top performer Bong Garbes from Inbox - Toyota San Fernando, and sim racer turned circuit racer Russel Reyes from TOYOTA GAZOO Racing PH secured the win in their respective classes after three race weekends.
The final race weekend happened on November 9 and was followed by the awarding of the overall winners.
Racing in the Toyota Gazoo Racing Philippine Cup is so thrilling that TMP President Masando Hashimoto cut his business trip short so he can join the final race of the season in Clark, Pampanga.
"I wanted to meet the racers, mechanics, coaches, and motorsports fans - this is my motivation for coming back. Today is the last race weekend of the TGR Philippine Cup, which will decide the season winners, so I wanted to say congratulations to them," Hashimoto said.

ALL OF BLUE
Color is the primary language of painting, the essential spirit of the medium. Minimalist artists have long considered this gospel truth: strip a painting to its core, and what remains is color. Yet, color is far from a mere visual phenomenon; it is a conduit for emotion and psychology, evoking ideas, memories, and profound feelings. Among the spectrum of hues, blue holds a particularly captivating allure—a color steeped in history, rarity, and meaning.
