The 2024 PHRX season took place over seven rounds, featuring races at Parklinks in Pasig City, the CCP Complex in Pasay City, and the Arden Botanical Garden in Trece Martires, Cavite. The CCP and Arden rounds were full-dirt rallycross events, while Pasig featured a combination of tarmac and dirt, creating a diverse and unpredictable competition format. Each 2-kilometer rally course tested the drivers' adaptability and skill, with both day and night races adding to the challenge.

Meanwhile, the PNRC championship consisted of three rounds, each pushing competitors to their limits in grueling rally conditions. The “Kagitingan Rally” in Capas, Tarlac, featured 12 Special Stages over 49 kilometers of gravel and dirt tracks. The “Unang Sigaw Rally” followed with 55 kilometers of intense terrain, split into eight Special Stages. The season concluded with the "Rally Nueva Ecija 2 – Tribute to Jun Espino," where drivers tackled 10 Special Stages covering 50 kilometers of challenging dirt and gravel roads.

As the PHRX and PNRC continue to grow, the 2025 season is set to be even bigger, with seven rounds of the rallycross series and four rounds of the national rally championship.

For the national rally championships, two rounds will be held in Nueva Ecija, one in Cavite, and a historic first inter-island rally in Lubang, Occidental Mindoro—marking a significant expansion in the Philippine rally scene.

Meanwhile, the rallycross series will build upon last year’s success by holding seven rounds, ensuring more thrilling competition and testing drivers across longer and more complex rally stages.

According to race organizers Olson Camacho and Ronnie Trinidad, these expansions are aimed at bringing rally racing to more regions in the country, growing its fanbase, and providing new and seasoned drivers more opportunities to compete.

Now in its 10th year, the PHRX and PNRC continue their mission to revive rally racing in the Philippines, a sport that flourished in the 1970s and 1980s.

“Unlike circuit racing, where drivers compete on smooth, controlled tracks, rally driving takes place on gravel, mud, dirt, and tarmac, making it one of the most dynamic and unpredictable motorsports,” said Camacho. He emphasized that the combination of speed, technical driving, and teamwork between the driver and co-driver makes rally racing a true test of skill and endurance.

To attract more participants to the sport, the PHRX organizers will be offering driver training programs focusing on rally driving fundamentals, car control, pace notes, and navigation techniques. This initiative aims to develop new talent in a safe and structured environment, ensuring that more drivers can experience the excitement of rallying with proper guidance.
