Isuzu PH, PHRX refreshes collaboration

MANILA: Isuzu Philippines Corporation (IPC) has revitalized its collaboration with the Philippine Rallycross Series.

In a statement, the Japanese automotive marque’s distributor shared that the partnership that started in 2021 played a pivotal role in the company’s engagement to the local motorsport scene — specifically rallycross — wherein the Isuzu D-Max highlighted its power and performance.

said that its collaboration with the program, which started in 2021, has been “a pivotal part” of the company’s engagement in motorsport — particularly rallycross — where the Isuzu D-Max showcased its superior power and performance.

“Our renewed partnership with the Philippine Rallycross Series is a testament to Isuzu’s belief in the power and passion of Philippine motorsport. Showcasing our champion Isuzu D-Max, which has triumphed in its category for two years running, we celebrate the relentless spirit of those who dare to push the limits,” IPC Assistant Division Head for Sales Robert Carlos said.

The Philippine Rallycross Series, which is sanctioned by the Automobile Association of the Philippines (AAP), has become a platform for rallycross drivers and enthusiasts to showcase their skills and test their vehicles' performance.

IPC, as part of the renewed partnership, will also field its own Isuzu D-Max that will be driven by champion rally driver Louie Camacho.

The competing vehicle is equipped with a 4JJ3 Blue Power Diesel Engine that can deliver up to 187.4 horses and 450 Newton-meters of pulling power. Its performance is complemented  by its suspension system designed to withstand the challenges of rallycross tracks.

“The performance of the D-Max on the rallycross track is phenomenal. Its unrivaled power, precision control, and superior suspension allow for an exhilarating driving experience that truly stands out,” Camacho said.
