080715ted239

Cebu’s premier car club Performance and Classics Enthusiasts of Cebu (PACE), in cooperation with the Manila Sports Car Club (MSCC), will be staging the second leg of Tour de Cebu to elevate tourism in Visayas and promote the enjoyment and preservation of vintage sports cars.

Tour de Cebu, the country’s only 1, 000-kilometer historic sports car rally that was inspired by the notable Mille Miglia event in Italy, will steer its wheel across Visayas on October 3 to 5. It aims to gather beautifully restored historic vehicles comprised mostly of sports cars owned and driven by key personalities hailing from Cebu and Manila. This year, Tour de Cebu will cover both Cebu and the Negros Island region (Bacolod and Dumaguete cities) with an expected participation of 35 vehicles.

The historic rally is open to all sports cars manufactured in 1972 or older. All entries will be subject to technical scrutiny. Major factors to be considered include authenticity, period correctness, mechanical soundness, and safety.

In light of the event, PACE will also hold a two-day Concours d’ Elegance on October 2 to 3 at Montebello Villa Hotel in celebration of the car club’s 10th anniversary.

The 2nd Tour de Cebu is sponsored by Petron and Sun Life Financial. It is also supported by Nissan Cebu, the event’s official lead car provider and C! Magazine, its official automotive magazine.
