The new class is open to anybody or any team. IR Nation hopes to gradually grow the class, find new riders and develop sponsorship opportunities for new teams from the Northern area to add to the existing roster of star riders and established teams. This will be another exciting phase in local motorcycle road racing.

The FIM SSP300 class is a popular class all over the world. It has an FIM World Championship class running with the WSBK and numerous FIM National SSP300 classes including Spain, Australia, New Zealand, USA, and Germany.
We are proud to be able to add the Philippines to these roster of countries and we hope to develop riders that can be sent to international competition in the near future. We aim to develop the class and be a destination for aspiring local roadracers. Moreover, the Philippine SSP300 class is a great place for our current international riders to race locally at a high level.
