February 20, 2009 by Tsikot
Living up to its Zoom-Zoom mantra of spirited performance and pure driving excitement, Mazda Philippines recently unveiled its Mazda BT-50 Drift Truck, in collaboration with the Tuason Racing School (TRS).
“The Mazda BT-50 drift truck is a great way to showcase the toughness and handling of our new pick-up truck”, Prudz Castillo, Brand Manager, Mazda Philippines said during the recent Mazda Zoom Fest held at the Fort Open Grounds at the Bonifacio Global City.
The new generation Mazda BT-50 launched in October 2008, boasts of leading-edge driving dynamics developed by Mazda’s sports car engineers that makes the Mazda BT-50 pick-up perform effortlessly under any driving condition with superior stability and control.
The Mazda BT-50 pick-up will surely give one a playful driving experience on any kind of road condition from pave highways to rough muddy terrain- true to its advertising slogan “With the Mazda BT-50 you don’t just drive one, You play with one.”
“Drifting as a sport is gaining a wider following among motoring enthusiasts and we felt that developing the country’s first drift truck would certainly be a head-turner”, Castillo added.
Two Mazda BT-50 -TRS Drift trucks were specially designed to compete in various drift events slated in 2009 led by veteran JP Tuason, team owner and will be driven by a team of expert drivers from Mazda BT-50 – TRS Drift Team Mike Tuason, Francisco Blanco and Audel Sison.
