Motul Super Series Off to a Roaring Start in Pampanga

Racers and race fans looked forward to the start of the 2024 Motul Super Series nationwide championship and the wait and preparation were all worth it as the series had a great season opener last April 7 in San Simon, Pampanga.

Dubbed Motul Grand Prix of Pampanga, the first round of the Motul Super Series was held at the spacious R33 Drift Track.  The venue was indeed a good battleground for the racers who came from different parts of the country. Race fans had a blast watching underbone and scooter racing stars and up and coming riders show their skills on board fast machines.
