SEAOIL Philippines announced last week its renewal of support for Radical Cars Philippines second season. Called the 2023 Seaoil Radical Challenge Philippines, known as the country’s fastest race series is set to kick-off its action-packed season this July. First race is set for July 21 at the Clark International Speedway (CIS) in Pampanga.
A total of five events are lined up for the 2023 championship. After the curtain raiser at the CIS, the series will move to the Batangas Racing Circuit (BRC) in September before returning to Clark for back-to-back rounds in October and November. Finally, the season will culminate with a 2 Hour Endurance on the 25th of November.
Now accredited as a National-level championship by the Automobile Association Philippines (AAP), the series will once again feature a strong 10-car grid of Radical SR1s. The SR1 features a carbon-steel space frame chassis covered with a high downforce, lightweight fiberglass body. A mid-mounted 182 bhp RPE 1340cc racing-spec engine powers the rear wheels via a six-speed sequential gearbox.
2023 also sees Seaoil Philippines, Inc. return as the championships’ title partner and official fuel supplier with Seaoil Extreme 97 Octane as the approved fuel, guaranteeing maximum performance. After a fruitful first season, the country’s leading independent fuel provider has agreed to sign a new three-year-deal with Radical Cars Philippines to power the championship all the way to 2025.
“We are thrilled to return as the title sponsor of Radical Challenge Philippines for 2023. SEAOIL’s world class Extreme 97 Octane fuel will once again power the fastest racing series in the country. We will continue providing the same brand of ‘Alagang SEAOIL’ on the track, as we have been giving to every Filipino motorist who fills up in our stations. This exciting partnership with Radical exemplifies SEAOIL’s commitment in championing Philippine motorsports and fostering a culture of high-performance excellence. We hope to see everyone at the track!” Edward Cruz, SEAOIL Philippines Inc. Head of B2C Segment Marketing said.
“The partnership with SEAOIL Philippines is a huge milestone as we continue to push the development of motorsports in the country. Our goal is to be here long term and SEAOIL shares that value as we continue to work together for the next three years, solidifying Radical Challenge Philippines as the stepping stone for racing drivers in the Philippines,” Marlon Stockinger, Radical Cars Philippines Motorsports Director said.
