SEAOIL Radical Challenge Philippines back on track for Round 2 at BRC

5 lights go out on the 22nd/24th of September as the country’s fastest racing series hits the Batangas Racing Circuit (BRC) for Round 2 of the SEAOIL Radical Challenge Philippines.

Powered by SEAOIL Extreme-97 octane fuel, the grid full of Radical SR1s will once again be composed of last round’s podium finishers. They will be joined by series newcomer Juancho Brobio who’s set to drive the yellow-and-blue liveried SEAOIL Radical SR1. Juancho is a relative newcomer to motorsports, but already has extensive experience under his belt driving different types of machinery. He has entered time attack events, competed in Philippine GT200, and tested with Formula V1. This will be a one-off outing for Juancho who is eyeing a full-time drive next season.

Driving for PartPro Racing x Porsche Design Manila, Joaquin Garrido earned his first-ever win in Radical Challenge on his debut race. He fought fought neck-and-neck with reigning champion Iñigo Anton throughout the 12-lap fixture to secure victory. Iñigo came 2nd, while multiple-time karting champion and Radical Challenge rookie Miguel Quiñones completed the podium.

With a reverse grid start, an eventful Race 2 saw the trio swap finishing positions. Joaquin and Iñigo were both involved in several race incidents that allowed Miguel to swoop in and take the lead with Joaquin crossing the line in 2nd and Iñigo in 3rd.

We see this partnership as a great opportunity for us to ride with the growth of the driving and racing lifestyle for years to come.”

Joaquin Garrido currently leads the standings with 43 points, followed by Miguel Quiñones with 40 points, and rounded out by Iñigo Anton with 33 points.
