ANGELES CITY, Pampanga  –  The Clark International Festival of Speed (CIFOS) 2026 successfully concluded its milestone run on October 16 to 18 at the Clark International Speedway, drawing a record-shattering 317 vehicles and 36 car clubs.

Marking its third 4-wheel edition, the three-day gathering cemented the Freeport zone’s status as a premier racing destination. Clark International Speedway President Johnny Tan said the event successfully advanced its goal of establishing the area as the epicenter of Philippine motorsports and a top Southeast Asian tourism hub for automotive events.

The festival featured six signature segments, headlined by the PHIMOS Cup championship circuit races, the Tour d’Elegance rolling parade, commercial exhibits in The Pitlane, non-competitive Track Experience sessions, the On the Grid car meet, and the Rev & Dine food bazaar.

Prior to the main event, the CIFOS Trackside: Frames of Speed photo competition held in partnership with Sony Philippines, Epson Philippines, and Cars & Prints. It attracted nearly 90 registrants, with winning entries displayed at the Trade Hall gallery.

CIFOS 2026 was co-presented by The Watch Reserve and backed by major industry partners including Toyota Gazoo Racing, Castrol, Yamaha Racing, and Sparco. (Text and photos by Ruffie Nyhl Cruz, Ang Pahayagan Contributing Editor)
