The SEAOIL Radical Challenge Philippines returns for its fifth season this August, beginning another four-round championship across Clark International Speedway and Batangas Racing Circuit.
The 2026 season opens at Clark from August 21 to 23 before moving to Batangas for two consecutive rounds in September and October. The championship then returns to Clark for its season finale in November.
FUCHS Lubricants Philippines also joins the series this year as Official Lubricant Partner, adding another technical partner to a championship that continues to feature the Radical SR1 and SR3 sports-racing cars.
FUCHS joins as lubricant partner
Under the partnership, cars competing in the series will use products from FUCHS’ TITAN automotive range, including engine oils, gear and transmission fluids. The range also includes the fully synthetic TITAN RACE line developed for competition applications.
Founded in Mannheim, Germany, in 1931, FUCHS supplies more than 10,000 lubricant solutions across over 50 countries.
“Partnering with Radical Philippines is a natural fit, two brands built on precision engineering and a relentless push for performance,” said Roland Metelmann, managing director of FUCHS Lubricants Philippines. “We’re excited to fuel the next generation of Filipino racing talent with lubricants trusted on tracks worldwide.”
Four rounds across Clark and Batangas
The 2026 calendar begins at Clark International Speedway on August 21 to 23. Round 2 follows at Batangas Racing Circuit on September 25 to 27, with Round 3 returning to Batangas on October 16 to 18. The final round will be held at Clark on November 20 to 21.
Each race weekend will feature practice and qualifying sessions followed by three 30-minute sprint races.
The championship again includes competition in the SR3 and SR1 Challenge Cups. Both titles were decided in the closing rounds last season, and the organizers expect returning champions, established rivals, and new drivers to make up the 2026 field.
Pace continues to rise
Organizers say performance across both classes continued to improve through the 2025 season, with lap records falling and overall pace increasing. The racecars will continue to run on SEAOIL Extreme-97 fuel as drivers push the performance limits of the Radical platform.
“As we open the fifth consecutive season of the SEAOIL Radical Challenge Philippines, we take pride not only in how far the championship has come, but in the community that has grown with it,” said Edward Cruz, head of fuels marketing at SEAOIL Philippines Inc.
Cruz said the championship has developed into a platform that brings together drivers, teams, partners, and fans, while continuing to expand its field and sponsor base.
Building a local one-make racing series
Mike Consenheim, president of Radical Motorsports Philippines, said the championship’s focus remains on competitive and safe racing while providing drivers with opportunities to develop.
“Over the past five seasons, it has grown into the country’s premier one-make racing series, showcasing the passion, talent, and professionalism of Philippine motorsport,” Consenheim said.
The 2026 SEAOIL Radical Challenge Philippines is supported by SEAOIL Philippines, FUCHS Lubricants Philippines, Bank of the Philippine Islands, Tieline, and John Barbers.
In Summary
The SEAOIL Radical Challenge Philippines begins its fifth season on August 21 to 23 at Clark International Speedway. The four-round 2026 calendar will also visit Batangas Racing Circuit twice before returning to Clark for the finale, while FUCHS Lubricants Philippines joins the championship as Official Lubricant Partner.
