Car enthusiasts set to gather in Clark for three-day speed festival

The Clark International Festival of Speed (CIFOS) 2026 4-Wheels Festival will take over Clark International Speedway from October 16 to 18, bringing together competitive racing, automotive displays, car meets, food, and other activities centered on Philippine car culture.

Now in its third 4-wheel edition, the three-day event is designed to cater to a broad mix of participants and spectators, including motorsport competitors, car collectors, builders, clubs, photographers, families, and enthusiasts.

A key part of CIFOS is its role in promoting Clark as a destination for motorsport and automotive events. Clark International Speedway President Johnny Tan said the festival is intended to contribute to that broader objective.

“Through CIFOS, we wish to help establish Clark Freeport Zone as the epicenter of Philippine motorsports and a renowned travel and tourism destination for automotive and motorcycle events in Southeast Asia.”

The 2026 festival will feature six main segments covering racing, displays, community activities, driving experiences, and food.

The PHIMOS Cup will provide the competitive racing component, with drivers battling for championship points on the circuit. For automotive displays and exhibitors, The Pitlane will feature vehicles, equipment, products, builds, and businesses.

Tour d’Elegance will bring a large collection of vehicles onto the road for a parade celebrating different parts of automotive culture. The previous edition featured 236 participating cars.

Participants who want to experience the circuit themselves can join Track Experience, which offers guided, non-competitive sessions using their own vehicles. Rev & Dine, meanwhile, will provide a food bazaar near the primary viewing areas and The Pitlane.

The sixth segment, On the Grid, will focus on the car community, giving clubs, collectors, enthusiasts, and builders an area where they can display their vehicles and interact with other participants.

Interest in the festival has also extended to photography. The recently held CIFOS Trackside: Frames of Speed competition drew nearly 90 official registrants across its 4-wheel and 2-wheel categories, exceeding the previous registration record.

The photography competition was organized with Sony Philippines, Epson Philippines, and Cars & Prints. Its top winners and finalists will receive recognition during the main festival, while their selected works will be presented at a photo gallery inside the Trade Hall.

The Watch Reserve is serving as CIFOS 2026’s Co-Presenter and Official Timepiece Partner. Other festival partners include Toyota Gazoo Racing, Castrol, Yamaha Racing, Blue Lithium, Panic, Sony, Maxxis, Aperito Clark, Joinlife, Kart Plaza Manufacturing Corp., and Sparco.

The event is also supported by media partners When In Manila, CarGuide.PH, AutoIndustriya.com, MotoPinas.com, News Philippines Online, Track MNL, Eve Moto, JomsTV Media, GoFactory, and MoabTV.

Admission for the October 16–18 festival is available in three ticket categories: General Admission at P500, Premium Pass at P800, and VIP Pass at P1,600. Tickets can be purchased through the official CIFOS website at www.cifos.ph.
