CAGI’S FIRST MOTORCYCLE FEST AT AYALA LAND’S ARCA SOUTH

Arca South, Ayala Land’s business and lifestyle district in Taguig, is officially instituted as Car Awards Group, Inc.’s (CAGI) venue for the 2017 Test Fest set this coming September and October.

Arca South is being shaped into a 74-hectare master-planned sustainable estate. The expansive former FTI complex is being transformed into a wholly-integrated enclave made up of residential communities, retail and office workspaces and a hotel in its initial phase. It will be a make-shift course for the group’s stringent testing process which involves quantitative (technical) and qualitative procedures wherein the latter uses predetermined consumer metrics like ergonomics, ride, fit and feel of the vehicle. The qualitative method, in particular, applies simulated day-to-day driving which is fit for the two-kilometer paved lay-out meted out by Arca South to the group.

“Smooth travel on the road is key to urbanites. Arca South aims to provide a city in sync for urban dwellers as it will be connected to the planned government infrastructure projects: Skyway-C5/ C6 Connector Road Project and the South Intermodal Transport System (ITS); offering a pleasant and convenient commute to and within the mixeduse estate.” said Arca South Project Head Stephen Comia.

“We will witness history in the making as Arca South will be the first venue where we will conduct tests on motorcycles,” said CAGI president Ronald de los Reyes.
