📰 In the Spotlight: Independent Media Highlights AAP Motorsports’ Expanded 2026 Season

We are always glad to see dedicated media outlets shining a light on local sim racing! One Pilipinas, a digital media outlet with a growing community across Facebook and TikTok, recently released a report covering the official launch of the 2026 AAP Motorsport Championship.

The report highlights how the Automobile Association Philippines (AAP) is expanding its platform to discover and develop virtual racing talent throughout the country.

A Growing Vision for Local Sim Racers

The coverage by One Pilipinas spotlights key developments from AAP's 2026 season setup, focusing on building accessible pathways for local drivers:

• Broader Competition Categories: Expanded disciplines including Formula 4, One Make Racing (OMR), GT3, Multi-Grid, Rally, Endurance Racing, and an All-Women's Edition.

• Pathways Beyond Local Grids: Champions in Formula 4, Pro Class, and One Make Racing will earn the opportunity to represent the Philippines internationally in Thailand.

• Nationwide Competition: Keeping the series online ensures drivers from all over the Philippines can participate without geographic or logistical barriers.

For our roster, seeing this level of organization and vision from AAP gives us even greater purpose as we refine our craft week in and week out.

🏁 Moving Forward

As we await the official, published standings from AAP for Round 2, our drivers are already back on the practice servers, reviewing telemetry, and making quiet adjustments for the next event.

Whether in open-wheel F4 cars, the Mustang OMR grid, or LMGT3 machinery, we remain focused on steady progress, clean racing, and supporting the local sim racing community.

See you on the grid for Round 3! 🏎️💨
