Toyota Motor Philippines has confirmed that the fourth and final leg of the 2026 Toyota Gazoo Racing Philippine Cup has been postponed. The race was originally set to take place this weekend, September 12 at the Clark International Speedway.
The event was deemed unfeasible due to the flooded condition of NLEX, as well as the rainy weather from the Habagat forecasted for the weekend. As of writing, Toyota has yet to confirm a new schedule for the race weekend.

Earlier this year, the racing series was put on hold due to the Automotive Association of the Philippines’ moratorium on motorsport events in response to the start of the fuel crisis. The fourth leg of the Toyota Gazoo Racing Philippine Cup is set to be the finale to wrap up this year’s season of racing for the Tamaraw OMR (One-Make Race) and the Vios OMR.

It will also continue the “rolling laboratory” biofuel effort Toyota started at the second event of the season in July. The Vios OMR races on E20, a 20% bioethanol blend, while the Tamaraw OMR uses B5 fuel, a 5% coco-biodiesel blend. These biofuels were adopted when the series returned in July with the goal of testing their viability in real-world conditions.
