The 2025 Toyota Gazoo Racing Philippine Cup will run its final leg at the Clark International Speedway on August 9, 2025. A total of three races will be held to determine the winners of this year’s series.
The weekend will start with two sprint races to help the drivers score some quick points before the grueling endurance race closes the weekend. That race will take an hour and a half to complete, and it should be non-stop action and anticipation.
Between those official races, a number of exhibition runs will be carried out, including the Tamaraw Sprint Race Exhibition. A herd of next-generation Tamaraws will race on CIS with former Vios Cup champions behind the wheels. The Tamaraw will also be included in a drag race, to further show off its capabilities as a mean, cargo-carrying, racing machine.
