The 2026 Eneos Super Sprint Series officially wrapped up its biggest and most successful season to date, bringing six exciting rounds of competition to a close with an action-packed finale at Villar City.
What started as a grassroots motorsport event has continued to grow into one of the country’s most exciting and accessible motorsport platforms, welcoming everyone from first-time competitors to seasoned racers.
The numbers tell the story of an extraordinary year. With an annual average of nearly 140 drivers per round, the series reached new heights in participation and competition. More significantly, 26 female competitors took part throughout the season, reflecting the growing presence of women in Philippine motorsports.
Round 6 provided a fitting conclusion, with drivers tackling a unique and technically challenging course layout that demanded precision more than speed. With bragging rights and valuable championship points on the line, competitors pushed hard to deliver some of the most impressive performances of the season.
One of the biggest stories of the finale was Iloilo’s Glenn Gallos of the Motolite–Sprint Racing Team, whose outstanding performance behind the wheel of his 2015 Honda Brio saw him dominate multiple categories.
Gallos recorded the fastest time of the entire event at 48.046 seconds in Intermediate Street Plus 2, earning the distinction of setting the fastest run of Round 6.
He also claimed the day’s best Amateur time of 48.832 seconds and the fastest Prepped time of 48.081 seconds, demonstrating remarkable consistency across different classifications.
Gallos collected numerous class victories throughout the event, making him one of the standout performers of the season-ending round.
The Pro category delivered equally exciting competition, with Gen Colina of Shago Someday Racing Team taking top honors in the classification.
Driving his 1994 Honda Civic Hatchback, Colina posted a blistering 48.086-second run in Pro Class D3, just 0.040 seconds shy of Gallos’ fastest time of the day.
Colina also secured victories in Pro Class B3, C2, C3, and D2, reinforcing his strong performance against some of the series’ most experienced competitors.
