“Me and my team are very much impressed with the performance of the Isuzu D-MAX, we have been using it for two straight years without having to go through any major repairs—it just shows how durable the engineering is, it can withstand harsh conditions and still give high performance every time,” said Louie Camacho.
Beyond leading the Isuzu D-MAX to consecutive championships, Camacho also clinched the 2024 Rally Master Champion titles in both the Philippine Rallycross Series and the Philippine National Rally Championship. Additionally, he is set to receive the prestigious 2024 Rally Driver of the Year Award from the Automobile Association Philippines (AAP).
