Miranda enters 2025 Irohazaka Drift Series

Filipino racer Daniel Miranda is set to launch his 2025 drift season at the much-anticipated Irohazaka Car Meet set at the R33 Drift Track in Pampanga.

As the first international drift event of the year and the opening round of a 5-part series, the meet promises top-tier competition, regional talent, and an exciting kickoff to the motorsport calendar.  It brings together the region’s top drift competitors and car culture enthusiasts, providing a stage for unforgettable moments and breakout performances.

Miranda’s comeback this season is powered by Cebuana Lhuillier, the country’s largest microfinancial services provider, led by its president and CEO Jean Henri Lhuillier who is widely recognized for his commitment to uplifting Philippine sports and supporting local athletes. Their collaboration, along with the support of other sponsors, has been instrumental in helping Miranda overcome the technical setbacks he faced last year.

Miranda and his team devoted the off-season to extensive upgrades and rigorous testing, ensuring the car is in peak condition for the challenges ahead. “We faced a few setbacks last year, but we’ve worked tirelessly to get everything dialed in during the off-season. 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,” Miranda said.

For 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. None of this would be possible without you. Let’s make 2025 a season to remember,” he added.  –  Marlon Bernardino
