Aura Forged is proud to announce our newest brand ambassador: Angelo Magtoto, one of the Philippines' most accomplished professional racers and the driver of the fastest Toyota GR Supra in the Philippines.
A Champion Who Embodies Excellence

These times make him the fastest driver in a Japanese car at both premier Philippine racing venues, a distinction recognized throughout the motorsports community.
His Toyota GR Supra, acquired in 2021, has become the defining machine of his career, helping him break records and stamp his name in Philippine motorsports history.

Since 2012, Angelo has competed across multiple disciplines, mastering different vehicles including the BMW M3, Mitsubishi Evo, Honda Civic, and Subaru STI. Each car taught him valuable lessons about handling, performance, and pushing limits. This knowledge translates into his current dominance with the GR Supra.
