New Breed of Motul MotoIR Youth Cup will Debut in Tarlac

2026 is the fifth season of the MotoIR Youth Cup, a rider development program by InsideRACING presented by Motul since 2022. Held together with MotoIR weekends, the series for young riders has been effective through the years with many of its graduates leveling up to national and international competitions.

The MotoIR Youth Cup uses 150cc Kayo MiniGP race bikes. Advocacy partners of the series for 2026 are Motul Luzon – Infiniteserv Int’l Corporation, Vee Rubber Pilipinas, RCB Philippines, F.C.C. Philippines Corporation, KYT Helmets, YSS Suspension, SSS Sprockets, BlackFlag Designs, JM Mirasol Advertising and PJ Bonza. Their support has been fundamental to the success of the series and the growth of young riders.

A tryout was held at the Tarlac Circuit Hill on April 18 to determine the Motul MotoIR Youth Cup riders for 2026. Competitors in the fifth season are Jared Mendina, Icee Pascual, Ace Dansharl Esguerra, Lex Ambrocio, Chelsea Alessandra Carreon, Anderson Leslie Debnam, Benneth Aguda, Dale Franco Carriedo and Euan Vrix Suba. These young riders will have their races at the Tarlac Circuit Hill during MotoIR race weekends starting May 2 and 3.
