Young motocross star Shana Tamayo continues to make waves in Philippine motorsports after delivering strong performances in the RFS NAMSSA Onslaught National Motocross Series, one of the country’s premier two-wheel off-road racing events.
The 16-year-old recently secured notable victories in the series, proving her reputation as one of the most promising talents in local motocross. Tamayo showcased the speed, skill, and determination that have helped her rise through the ranks at a young age.
Her achievements have drawn attention not only within the motorsports community but also among brands looking to support athletes who challenge conventional expectations. Tamayo’s success highlights the growing presence of women in competitive motocross, a discipline traditionally dominated by men.
Tamayo’s journey has been marked by consistent development and a willingness to compete on both local and international stages. Her performances in the RFS NAMSSA Onslaught National Motocross Series have further strengthened her standing as an athlete capable of representing the country in high-level competition.
Backing her efforts is Kojie.san, which has supported Tamayo since 2022 when the partnership began during the Dumaguete Motocross Cup. The skincare brand recognized her potential early and has continued to provide support as she pursues bigger goals in the sport.
According to Kojie.san, the collaboration aligns with its “Command Beauty” campaign, which encourages women to define beauty on their own terms and pursue their ambitions with confidence. Through its partnership with Tamayo, the brand aims to spotlight women who excel in fields where they are often underrepresented.
For Kojie.san, supporting Tamayo goes beyond sponsorship visibility. The company sees the partnership as an opportunity to champion determination, resilience, and self-expression through sport.
Tamayo is set to return to action at the third leg of the RFS NAMSSA Onslaught National Motocross Series on July 11-12 at the RFS Dirt District in Ayala Vermosa, Imus, Cavite. She and Kojie.san are expected to continue their campaign through the remaining rounds of the series until December 2026.
Autocar’s Take
Shana Tamayo’s rise is a reminder that Philippine motocross continues to produce young talents capable of competing at a high level despite the sport’s limited mainstream exposure. Success in motocross demands far more than speed; riders need fitness, technical precision, and mental toughness to perform consistently across difficult terrain.
At just 16, Tamayo is already showing many of those qualities. The involvement of Kojie.san is equally significant, as it signals growing commercial interest in grassroots motorsports. More support ultimately means more opportunities for riders like Tamayo to develop and for the sport itself to grow.
