About Batangas Racing Circuit
The Short Circuit configuration is one of 2 layouts available at Batangas Racing Circuit - 3.006 km across 13 corners. Lap times and sessions on this layout are tracked separately from other configurations.
Overview
Batangas Racing Circuit, widely known as BRC, is a permanent road circuit in Barrio Maligaya, Rosario, in the province of Batangas, about 90 minutes by road south of Manila's international airport. Opened in 1996, it was the first circuit in the Philippines built from the ground up for racing, and Toyota Motor Philippines describes it as the country's oldest permanent car racetrack. The venue combines a road course, a drag strip and a dirt track for off-road vehicles, and over the years it has hosted national championships for cars and motorcycles, one-make series, international formula racing and corporate track days.
Technical Specifications and Track Features
Since 2005 the Full Circuit has measured 3.5 km with 20 turns, and a Short Circuit of about 3.0 km with 13 turns skips the western extension. The lap starts on a long main straight in front of the pit garages and heads into a hairpin at the south-western end, followed by a long diagonal straight back across the site. The rest of the lap loops around the northern part of the property through a series of linked curves and tight hairpins that fold back on themselves, before a fast run down the eastern side returns to the pits. The western extension, added in 2002, brings a further straight and a tight hairpin. Toyota's racing staff describe it as a technical track that puts drivers' skills under the spotlight. The fastest race lap on record is 1:27.546, set by John O'Hara in a Dallara F301 during the 2005 Asian Formula 3 season.
Facilities and Specialized Areas
The circuit has permanent pit garages along the main straight and a fully equipped media centre. The main straight was extended in 2005 to form a drag strip, which is used by the National Drag Racing Championship, and the same works revised the first turn and the pit exit. A dirt track for four-wheel-drive competition lies outside the circuit walls. Besides the full and short road courses, a configuration of about 2 km has been listed for karting.
History
The circuit opened on 16 October 1996 with about USD 3 million of sponsorship from Shell, Toyota, Philip Morris, Yamaha, Kilton Motor Corporation and the provincial government of Batangas. In its first year it staged a round of the Asia Road Racing Championship for motorcycles. The original 2.9 km layout was lengthened in 2002 by a 600 m extension, and the following year the circuit gained FIA Grade 4 homologation, which brought the Asian Formula 3 series in 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2008. National racing has been a constant: Formula Toyota, the Toyota Corolla Cup, the National Touring Car Championship, Philippine GT, the Philippine Superbike Championship and grassroots series such as Circuit Showdown and FlatOut have all raced here. In August 2026 the Toyota Gazoo Racing Philippine Cup held its first race weekend at BRC, with one-make races for the Vios and the Tamaraw and free admission for spectators.
