The SEAOIL Radical Challenge Philippines is back for its 3rd season this September. And along with new event partner BPI, the 2024 calendar also brings with it a refreshed driver lineup and an additional race category.

New for this year is the addition of the SR3 Challenge Cup. Quicker than the Radical SR1s, the SR3 features a similar carbon-steel space frame chassis covered with a high downforce, lightweight fiberglass body. What makes it different is the RPE 1500cc four-cylinder racing engine that puts out 232 bhp – 50 bhp more than the already-fast SR1. Like its smaller brother, the SR3 also puts power to the ground via the rear wheels through a 6-speed sequential gearbox.

The SR1 Challenge Cup and SR3 Challenge Cup share the same grid in 2024, paving the way for an even more adrenaline-filled championship. Notable entries are 2-time AAP Driver of the Year Miguel Quiñones, Thailand Super Series (TSS) driver Jun Caceres, FV1 AM Class champion Rainy Medina, and Portuguese driver Andre Rodrigues.

SEAOIL also renews its support for 2024 as the championships’ title partner and official fuel supplier with SEAOIL Extreme 97 Octane as the approved fuel, guaranteeing maximum performance.

“Just like last year, we’re powering each team with our top-tier SEAOIL Extreme 97 premium gasoline, designed to deliver maximum performance. This high-octane fuel is available at over 830 SEAOIL stations nationwide, so every Filipino motorist can experience the thrill of racing-grade power. Join us at BRC in September as we witness the adrenaline-pumping action unfold. Let’s make this season the most thrilling one yet,” shared Edward Cruz, SEAOIL Philippines Inc. Head of B2C Segment Marketing.

The Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI), spearheaded by its Agency Banking arm, is also joining the excitement of the upcoming season of SEAOIL Radical Challenge Philippines. Seen at the forefront of forging strategic partnerships with key players in the retail sector, the fresh partnership with Radical Motorsports Philippines marks a significant step forward in the bank’s efforts to connect with a broader audience and enhance its brand visibility through the high-octane world of racing.

“We are thrilled to tie up for this season with Radical Motorsports Philippines and SEAOIL, a collaborative BPI partner store,” said Rally Jereza, Head of BPI Agency Banking. “As the official bank partner of Radical Challenge Philippines, we continue to expand network and engage with customers in new and exciting ways, allowing us to reach new audiences and showcase our commitment to making financial services more accessible to every Filipino, in every community – including the energetic community of racing.”

The condensed race calendar kicks-off at the Batangas Racing Circuit (BRC) next month. It then moves to the Clark International Speedway (CIS) for the title-decider in October. As before, each round follows a 3-day format that consists of Free Practice on Friday, Qualifying and Race 1 on Saturday, and Race 2 and 3 on Sunday. Sprint races are 30 minutes in length from start-to-finish.
