Championship battles heat up as the SEAOIL Radical Challenge Philippines, the country’s fastest racing series, nears the final stretch of its 2025 season. Round 3 returns to (CIS) on October 17–19 as part of the annual Clark International Festival of Speed (CIFOS), setting the stage for an epic title fight in the SR3 and SR1 Challenge Cups.
Fueled by race-engineered SEAOIL Extreme-97 fuel, it’s been a year filled with drama, comebacks, and unpredictability—none more so than in the SR3 Challenge Cup. Defending champion Mikey Jordan has emerged as the driver to beat, despite a transmission issue that forced him to sit out Race 1 in BRC. But with help from his team, Jordan Racing x Autoholic Garage, who sourced a spare SR3 in time for Race 2, he bounced back in spectacular fashion. Jordan went on to win both remaining races that weekend and now holds four wins from six races, with a strong lead in the standings.
Trailing him in 2nd is Rafa Caceres of C&C Motorsport, who has quietly built momentum with consistent finishes. Caceres leapfrogged Andre Rodrigues, who missed the previous round due to mechanical issues.
In the SR1 Challenge Cup, rookie sensation Juha Turalba of T2 Racing continues to lead the championship after a dominant start to the season, winning the first four races. However, his campaign hit a major setback when he crashed heavily in Race 2 at Batangas, which brought out the red flag. While Turalba fortunately walked away with only minor injuries, the same couldn’t be said for his sky-blue #44 Radical SR1, which remains in doubt for this weekend’s races. Whether the car—or the driver—can return in time may decide the outcome of the title fight.
Waiting in the wings is Miguel Quiñones, who sits 2nd in the standings after securing his first win of the season in Round 2. Not far behind in 3rd is Jaime Almario, who continues to show strong pace throughout the year.
The penultimate round of the championship will follow the standard three-day race format: Practice and Qualifying on Friday (October 17), Race 1 on Saturday (October 18), and Race 2 and 3 on Sunday (October 19).
