Miranda comeback bid in drift race at Irohazaka Car Meet

FILIPINO Daniel Miranda will launch his ambitious campaign  in the 2025 drift season when he sees action in the Irohazaka Car Meet unfurling soon at the R33 Drift Track in Pampanga.

The event will be the first of the five-legged series, which promises top-tier competition that aims to discover regional talent while kicking off the motorsport calendar.

Mr. Miranda’s comeback will be powered by Cebuana Lhuillier, headed by its President and Chief Executive Officer Jean Henri Lhuillier who is a known sports patron having supported not just softball from which he is its current head as well as tennis.

“We faced a few setbacks last year, but we’ve worked tirelessly to get everything dialed in during the off-season,” said Mr. Miranda. “I’m looking forward to pushing the limits and challenging some of the region’s best drivers throughout the series.”

“This season is all about performance, precision, and proving what we’re capable of,” he added.

The Irohazaka Car Meet brings together the region’s top drift competitors and car culture enthusiasts, providing a stage for unforgettable moments and breakout performances.

For Mr. Miranda, it’s more than just a race — it’s a statement of intent for the season ahead.

“A sincere thank you to Cebuana Lhuillier and all of my sponsors for your continued trust and support,” he said. — Joey Villar
