2026 TGR Philippine Cup concludes thrilling season, GR 86 racing class announced for 2027
Alain Gabriel Alzona triumphs in Super Sporting Class, Bern Zaragoza takes the win in Sporting Class, and Iñigo Anton claims championship in inaugural Tamaraw Class
OFFICIAL RELEASE: Toyota Motor Philippines | PUBLISHER: ADVAI
The 2026 season of the TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Philippine Cup has come to a thrilling close. Alain Gabriel Alzona from Toyota General Santos – Davao Racing, Bern Zaragoza from Resultado Racing, and Iñigo Anton from Obengers Racing have emerged as the champions in their respective classes after four grueling and heated weekends, with the fourth and final race weekend happening last October 24 at the Clark International Speedway in Mabalacat, Pampanga.
Vios one-make race cars (OMR) battled it out in the Super Sporting, Sporting and Legacy Classes, while the Tamaraw OMRs went wheel-to-wheel in the Tamaraw Class.
The penultimate sprint race, which awarded double points, saw intense action in the Super Sporting Class, as Joaquin Garrido, who started at P2, was able to secure the lead as early as the first turn. A few laps later, Red Diwa was sent careening off course into the grass with an errant collision in the rear from Garrido but made a miraculous recovery by driving back into the track, regaining his position. Garrido later encountered trouble and had to regroup at the pit, managing to reenter later in the race at the bottom position.
Meanwhile, the penultimate Tamaraw Class race was tight, except for a climactic incident in the final lap, where Raymond Cudala veered off course at a corner while battling Oliver Aquino. That made him give up the lead he was protecting throughout the whole race, resulting in David Enzo Ison crossing the finish line in first place. Ison, however, was later relegated to third place due to a time penalty for exceeding track limits.
Race Weekend 4 of the TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Philippine Cup was more than just a series of races, as it was a can’t-miss experience for racing and car enthusiasts. Beyond the sprint races, it held huge moments such as the unveiling of the GR 86 OMR through a track showcase for the public, and the announcement of the GR 86 Class for the 2027 season. TMP President Masando Hashimoto also revealed that Rookie Racing Garage Manila, a home for people who love cars, will be opening in the country.
“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.
Aside from the track activities, fans tried their hand at the sim racing rigs, drove remote control cars in a miniature off-road track, checked out official GAZOO Racing merchandise, and purchased car parts and accessories for their rides at the sponsors’ booths.
Coming off the heels of a successful 2026 season, Toyota Motor Philippines continues to push the limits of innovation for the better—and this year’s edition would not have been possible without the unwavering dedication of the racers, their teams, partners, and the fervent support of the fans.
