The third leg of the 2026 Toyota Gazoo Racing Philippine Cup will commence at the Batangas Racing Circuit in Rosario, Batangas, on August 15. The race weekend will showcase the Tamaraw One-Make Race (OMR), Vios OMR, and their respective biofuel mixtures.
The Vios OMR is split into Super Sporting, Sporting, and Legacy classes and will use E20 fuel—a 20% bio-ethanol blend. Meanwhile, the Tamaraw OMR will be using B5, a 5% coco-biodiesel blend. By utilizing low-carbon biofuels, Toyota Motor Philippines resumes its rolling laboratory and aims to support national energy security and the development of biofuel supply chains.
Race Weekend 3 will be open to the public with free admission. Aside from wheel-to-wheel action, attendees can also expect booths from GT Radial, Petron, Momo Italy, PIAA, Sparco Philippines, and more. If you can’t watch in person, the races will also be broadcast live on Toyota Gazoo Racing Philippines’ Facebook page.

“As a new track for our Vios OMRs and Tamaraw OMRs, Batangas Racing Circuit will be an exciting challenge for our drivers,” shared TMP senior vice president for marketing Sherwin Chua-Lim. “Our aim at Toyota Gazoo Racing has always been to provide opportunities for racers to push the limits for better and to bring racing closer to different car communities. We hope this new racetrack will reignite the passion of our racers and existing fans, and attract the interest of people getting into motorsports.”
“We have received positive feedback from the racers on how biodiesel and bioethanol blend fuels perform in extreme conditions, so we are further studying the feasibility of continuing the use of these low-carbon fuels for our succeeding motorsports events,” adds TMP first vice president for corporate affairs Josephine Villanueva. “While we continue to face energy security issues in the country, we hope this initiative will result in improved knowledge on the positive benefits of higher biofuel blends for wider use by motorists.”
