Before the much awaited IRGP8 races on November 16, riders gave their best at the two qualifying sessions a day before to determine grid positions in the race proper. Those who topped each race class when the results of the two qualifying heats were consolidated were given Pole Position Awards sponsored by Zebra Helmets.

Zebra Helmets are distributed locally by Bostanten Corporation. The Zebra Helmets brand was introduced in the market at the 6th Annual InsideRACING Bike Festival and Trade Show held at the SMX Convention Center of the SM Mall of Asia in 2012. Their main objective is to provide a great variety of quality helmets in a very affordable prize. Several local riders in the country’s motorcycle racing industry as well as motorcycle events are also supported by Zebra Helmets. The brand was also the sponsor of the Pole Position Awards in IRGP6 and IRGP7 Live!

Spec V riders Aljon Valencia, Masato Fernando and Dashi Watanabe made their team proud by clinching the top position in their respective race classes. Not to be left behind were expert rider Paul Mark Doblada of Yamaha-Motor Ace-MTRT-Team Takeshi and Michael Cortez of Yezaroo who was remarkable even though it was his first time to venture in motorcycle circuit racing.
