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.

“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.
