This Saturday, October 11, the European Touring Car Championship (ETCC) is headed over to the Clark International Speedway. This, however, isn’t just another leg for the championship—it’s a full-on festival.
The 2025 ETCC Festival will feature various races, including one solely with M2s and Porsches running the track. There’ll be a grid race for Volkswagen Golf GTIs, as well as circuit lessons headed by Track X. There will also be two 15-minute Open Track sessions for free for European cars.

On top of all these, there will also be bazaars, sim-racing booths, and other activities at the 2025 ETCC Festival. A BMW Test Drive session will also be happening over lunch. The best part here is that admission is absolutely free. Those who wish to enter one series will have to shell out P9,500, and pay P4,500 more for every additional series they wish to participate in. This already covers the paddock access as well as transponder fees.

Now, the ‘E’ in ETCC may stand for ‘European,’ but the ETCC Festival this weekend will also be opening its doors to Japanese cars. It won’t be a car festival without JDMs, right? There’ll be an all-Japanese exhibition on track, and any vehicle that’s a 2010 model or newer and has 180hp or more under the hood can join the JTCC. Reg fee for this one is P3,500 and does not come with paddock or transponder access.
