Buckle up, Nissan fans! The first-ever Nissan Festival is hitting the Clark International Speedway on February 1, 2026. This isn’t just a car show; it’s a high-octane celebration of Nissan’s “Godzilla” legacy and its future. From iconic heritage Z-cars to the latest performance models, the track will be buzzing with energy starting at 10:00 AM.
The absolute highlight of the day? The arrival of Hiroshi Tamura, the legendary “Father of the GT-R.” This is a rare chance for Filipino enthusiasts to meet the man who breathed life into the R35. You can join his Q&A session, snag an autograph, or, if you’re lucky, ride shotgun with him for a hot lap around the speedway. Brand ambassador Matteo Guidicelli will also be joining the festivities, adding more star power to an already stacked lineup of car club parades and interactive tech displays.
