The stage is set for another thrilling season of the country’s fastest race series as the SEAOIL Radical Challenge Philippines returns to the tracks this September. The 2024 season will feature two race categories and introduce a new event partner, BPI, adding even more excitement to the competition.
Powered by SEAOIL’s race-engineered Extreme-97 fuel with STP additives, the condensed 2024 calendar kicks off at the Batangas Racing Circuit (BRC) from September 20-22. Known for its 3.5 km track with flowing, high-speed corners, BRC delivered plenty of action last year, and the series hopes to replicate that excitement in this season’s opener. The championship will then move to the Clark International Speedway (CIS) for the season finale from October 11-13, where the title-decider will unfold.
Each round will follow a three-day format: Free Practice on Friday, Qualifying and Race 1 on Saturday, and Race 2 and Race 3 on Sunday. The sprint races will be 30 minutes long from start to finish, ensuring intense and fast-paced action throughout.

SEAOIL continues its commitment as the title partner and official fuel supplier for the 2024 championship, with SEAOIL Extreme 97 Octane as the approved fuel to guarantee maximum performance for all competitors.
“We are thrilled to announce the return of the SEAOIL Radical Challenge Philippines for 2024. For the third year in a row, we’re collaborating with Radical Philippines to bring heart-pounding racing action to the track. This year, with the support of our new sponsor, BPI, we’re excited to welcome both returning racers and new talent to compete in the fastest race series in the country,” said Edward Cruz, Head of B2C Segment Marketing at SEAOIL Philippines Inc.
“Our premium SEAOIL Extreme 97 gasoline, designed for maximum performance, will power each team just like last year. This high-octane fuel is available at over 830 SEAOIL stations nationwide, so every Filipino motorist can experience the thrill of racing-grade power. We invite everyone to join us at BRC in September as we kick off what promises to be the most thrilling season yet,” Cruz added.
The Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI), led by its Agency Banking arm, joins the excitement of the 2024 SEAOIL Radical Challenge Philippines as the official banking partner. This new collaboration with Radical Motorsports Philippines represents a strategic move to connect with a broader audience and enhance BPI’s brand visibility in the high-octane world of racing.
“We are excited to partner with Radical Motorsports Philippines and SEAOIL, a trusted BPI partner store,” said Rally Jereza, Head of BPI Agency Banking. “As the official bank partner of the SEAOIL Radical Challenge Philippines, we are committed to expanding our network and engaging with customers in new and exciting ways. This partnership allows us to reach new audiences and showcase our dedication to making financial services more accessible to every Filipino, even in the vibrant racing community.”
New Additions for the 2024 Season
A major highlight for 2024 is the introduction of the SR3 Challenge Cup. Faster than the Radical SR1s, the SR3 features a similar carbon-steel space frame chassis, covered with a high downforce, lightweight fiberglass body. It is powered by an RPE 1500cc four-cylinder racing engine that produces 232 bhp—50 bhp more than the already fast SR1. Both the SR1 Challenge Cup and SR3 Challenge Cup will share the same grid this season, setting the stage for even more adrenaline-filled battles on the track.
Notable drivers participating this year include two-time AAP Driver of the Year Miguel Quiñones, Thailand Super Series (TSS) driver Jun Caceres, and Portuguese driver Andre Rodrigues.
