After a significant 2-year delay due to local COVID-restriction, Motul, Radical and along with PartsPro, other sponsors, spectators and drivers managed to come together to finally deliver one of the most awaited races in the local motorsport scene. It’s with incredible excitement to fully appreciate the FIA-safety approved cars Radical managed to bring into Philippine shores. The challenge brought together professional drivers like Tyson Sy of PartsPro Racing, amateur Radical cars owners, and Radical PH team members onto the grid together to celebrate the FIA safety approved cars. This included the:

  • GT4 class SR1 which is dubbed to be Radical’s entry level vehicle; and,
  • GT3 class SR3 with even more power and added aeros.

Tyson Sy of PartsPro Racing earned a 1:58:365 in qualifying was edged out by Antonio Brias who took pole position with a 1:58:264. Take note that the exFormula3 driver, Sy, was in a slower SR1 compared to Brias’ SR3.

In the 2nd race of the day, reverse grid was implemented which Sy started at the back of the grid. Within the first two (2) laps of the race, Sy, enforced his absolute dominance as he climbed through the entire field in a short span. The PartsPro Racing driver was a clear standout in the crowd, now handling the quicker SR3 in this reverse grid setup.
