SeaOil Radical Challenge Philippines Marks 5th Season With August Opener


The 2026 SeaOil Radical Challenge Philippines is set to get underway this August as the country's fastest racing series celebrates its fifth season. Building on one of its most competitive campaigns to date, the series continues to raise the standard of local motorsport with another four-round championship across Clark International Speedway (CIS) and Batangas Racing Circuit (BRC).

Adding to the championship this season is Fuchs Lubricants Philippines, which joins the SeaOil Radical Challenge Philippines as its Official Lubricant Partner. Bringing another global performance brand to the grid, all cars will use Fuchs’ Titan automotive range, covering engine oils, gear, and transmission fluids. The range extends to the fully synthetic Titan Race line developed for competition use.

Founded in Mannheim, Germany in 1931, Fuchs is the world's largest independent lubricant manufacturer, supplying more than 10,000 specialist 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. We’re excited to fuel the next generation of Filipino racing talent with lubricants trusted on tracks worldwide," shared Roland Metelmann, Managing Director of Fuchs Lubricants Philippines.

Last season delivered dramatic title battles in both the SR3 and SR1 Challenge Cups, with both championships decided in the closing rounds. Defending champions are expected to return as they look to retain their crowns, while familiar rivals aim to mount another title challenge. Interest from new drivers also continues to grow, with anticipation building for another competitive grid this season.
