Alenie Rhose Valera
A formidable and familiar force at Monza Barcade, Alenie has proven time and again that she can go wheel-to-wheel with the sim racing talents. By day, she serves as a government auditor in Metro Manila; by night, she transforms into a dedicated racer, sharpening her instincts across Formula, GT, and GT3 machinery on her home rig, powered by a Moza R9 V3, KS Steering Wheel, and SRP Pedals.
An avid Formula 1 fan and devoted follower of Max Verstappen, Alenie regularly lands on the podium in weekly Monza Barcade races. As she gears up for her rookie campaign in the AAP Endurance Cup 2026, she stands at the forefront of a historic season, embracing the AAP’s new mandate requiring female representation on the grid and paving the way for women in high-level Philippine digital motorsport.
Her Story
For Alenie, balance and discipline aren't just buzzwords, they are a daily blueprint. By day, she works as a full-time government auditor in Metro Manila, scrutinizing numbers and maintaining rigorous standards. But when the workday ends, her focus shifts from spreadsheets to telemetry as she steps into the world of high-level digital motorsport.
An avid Formula 1 fan inspired by the aggressive precision and relentless racecraft of Red Bull Racing’s Max Verstappen, Alenie’s journey into competitive sim racing gained serious momentum at Monza Barcade. Week after week, she went toe-to-toe with seasoned local racers in their weekly events, turning heads with her sharp instincts, composure under pressure, and frequent podium finishes.
To elevate her craft, Alenie brought the track home, assembling a dedicated setup featuring a Moza R9 V3 direct drive base, a KS Formula-style steering wheel, and SRP pedals. Night after night, she logs laps across a wide variety of disciplines. From open-wheel Formula cars to heavy, high-downforce GT3 machinery, continually mastering braking zones, tire management, and endurance strategy.
Now, Alenie is taking her biggest step yet: making her official rookie entry into the AAP Endurance Cup 2026 with AppFront Racing.
This season represents a landmark moment for Philippine digital motorsport. With progressive new AAP regulations mandating that teams field at least one female driver, the initiative breaks open the doors for women to compete at the highest level of endurance racing. Rather than viewing the mandate as mere compliance, Alenie sees it as a powerful platform to prove her pace, battle at the front of the grid, and inspire a new generation of female racers to take the wheel.
