The Isuzu D-MAX extended its impressive performance in the 2024 Philippine Rallycross Series, excelling in Round 5 at the challenging CDS Offroad Playground within Arden Botanical Estate last Saturday, May, 25. Champion rally driver Louie Camacho skillfully piloted the D-MAX to victory in both the UV Class and Pick-up Class, reinforcing its leading status in the series.
Competing against the likes of the Toyota Rav4 and the Ford Ranger Raptor, the D-MAX proved that it’s a durable and powerful machine that’s up for the challenge. On his second run for the pickup class, Louie Camacho was able to bag the fastest lap time of 2.22 minutes on the two-kilometer dirt track. The Isuzu D-MAX currently leads the UV Class with 123.5 points, outpacing six competitors, and tops the Pick-up Class with 137.5 points, ahead of five contenders.

The 2024 Philippine Rallycross Series, sanctioned by the Automobile Association Philippines (AAP), is a major event for off-road and racing enthusiasts. Since 2022, the Isuzu D-MAX has held the championship title in the Pick-up category and continues to dominate the sport.

“We are very confident that we will take home the championship again this year, the D-MAX is very capable, and couple it with the expertise of our team driver we have a perfect combination this year. Not just in the Philippine but even in the other ASEAN countries, the D-MAX model really shows stellar performance in this type of motorsports, which is why we want to promote this kind of activity to our customers, especially younger generation to try this sport and discover the joy of driving on dirt.”
