2023 SEAOIL Radical Challenge Philippines revs up for Round 2 at Batangas Racing Circuit on Sept. 22-24

This season's SEAOIL Radical Challenge Philippines is revving up for its second round at the Batangas Racing Circuit from Sept. 22 to 24, 2023.

The race is powered by SEAOIL Extreme 97 octane fuel and the whole event will be a one-make race featuring the Radical SR1. Popular names like Joaquin Garrido, Miguel Quiñones and Iñigo Anton will also be back for more wheel-to-wheel action.

Aside from this, they will be joined by newcomer Juancho Brobio, who is set to drive the #55 yellow-and-blue liveried SEAOIL SR1. Brobio is a relative newcomer to motorsports, but already has extensive experience under his belt driving different types of machinery.

He has entered time attack events, competed in the Philippine GT200 and tested with Formula V1. This will be a one-off outing for Brobio, who is eyeing a full-time drive next season.

Round 2 of the 2023 SEAOIL Radical Challenge Philippines kicks off with Qualifying on Saturday morning, Race 1 in the afternoon and Races 2 and 3 on Sunday.

Garrido currently leads the standings with 43 points, Quiñones with 40 points and Anton with 33.

Recap of Round 1

The first round of the Radical Challenge saw Garrido blossom in his first-ever win for the racing series.

Driving for PartsPro and Porsche Design Manila, Garrido fought neck-and-neck with reigning champion Iñigo Anton throughout the 12-lap fixture to secure victory. Anton came 2nd, while multiple-time karting champion and Radical Challenge rookie Miguel Quiñones completed the podium.

With a reverse grid start, an eventful Race 2 saw the trio swap finishing positions. Garrido and Anton were both involved in several race incidents that allowed Quiñones to swoop in and take the lead, with Garrido crossing the line in 2nd and Anton in 3rd

Porsche Design Manila

Porsche Design Manila is co-presenting the race, with the brand standing for engineering passion.

Their partnership began in 2022 when the German brand gradually entered the growing Philippine scene. 

Founded by Professor Ferdinand Alexander Porsche in 1972, Porsche Design Manila's goal has always been to release merchandise inspired by Porsche cars.
