Philippine Touring Car Championship

The Philippine Touring Car Championships (PTCC), formerly the Philippine National Touring Car Championships, is the only touring car series running under the banner of the Automobile Association of the Philippines (AAP).

Race Fans Incorporated, a private enterprise, has undertaken organizing, promotion, and marketing activities of this event after being granted exclusive permission in a memorandum of agreement with the AAP.

PTCC races run both at the Subic International Raceway (owned and operated by Philippine racing legend Pocholo Ramirez) and the Batangas Racing Circuit (owned and operated by Johnny Tan).

Touring car races in the Philippines has not yet reached the levels of popularity enjoyed by other motoring sports such as karting, drag racing and open wheel racing. However, the growing number of entries in the PTCC grid has grown from 24 cars in its 2005 season to 34 cars in its 2006 season. <ref>"Global Racing Schools Singapore | Go Racing > GT and Touring Car > Philippine Touring Car Championship".
