(Conclusion)
What started as an idea that we peddled to sponsors for more than five years ago, has finally come to fruition and what a great start for our unique series, the first ever decathlon of motor sports, the Petron MP Turbo Rally of Champions!
It is now part of our country’s motor sports history and we are proud to announce that there has not been any series around the world that has this format. With 10 ROC rounds that started in Subic last March, we organized races that featured Autocross, Time Speed Distance Rally, Slaloms, Gymkhana, Extreme Gymkhana, Time Attack, Toge, Drifting Exhibition, Rallycross and Dirt Trials.
We are very happy that it wasn’t only us, our MP Turbo organizers that felt very happy after the championship, but most of our racers and participants. They got a deep sense of accomplishment like we did and even had our veteran racers come out and fulfill their dreams of facing again!
Here are some of the best posts that we saw on Facebook and other social media sites and thank you to all those that joined us.

These Ford Trucks are perfect examples of masculine and aggressive looks, coupled with a stylish interior, fitted with every luxury imaginable. It’s quiet and fuel efficient, but nonetheless powerful and boosts plenty of torque. Yet it feels like you’re driving an SUV – so smooth! The Rangers are still one of the most impressive performing UTEs in the dirt as well. Whhooosaa!Wanna have one!
To God be all the glory
JR COSTALES, 2nd place inboth ROC Past Champions and Ford Ranger Superbattle
Last weekend’s PETRON MP TURBO RALLY OF CHAMPIONShas proven to be one of the most challenging time trial event I have joined in as it was my first time to drive off-road.
Super thanks to sirMike Potencianofor sharing his wisdom on how to correctly drive on dirt/ loose surface. Hope I would be able to find the guts to yank the ebrake on the next off-road event!
Btw, Ford Rangers are really built tough!
ROMMEL MATEO, 1st place ROC Qualifiers Class and 3rd overall ROC Champions Shootout
My first time to race on dirt and I was humbled to see how the more experienced drivers tame a Ford Ranger Wildtrak.
There was a lot of learning and self-restraining “gigil” for me to do to keep that beast at no traction but under control situation and as the competition gets tighter and the track became more challenging, we were able to set the fastest times of the day.
The Top 5 Champions Shootout was so intense with drivers setting the fastest time finishing close to milliseconds. What an awesome experience!
Man, from racing brand new Kias, Hondas, Subarus and Fords at this stageis truly an awesome experience! Got to give credit where it is due, thanks for your passion and support to our team sirMike Potencianomore power toMP Turbo Philippinesand we are excited for next year’s season!
Special thanks to my brothersJeff G Soberon, Oliver Rodriguez, Alex Layson and Jun Alavaroof Subic Racing Team.
