Troy Montero, a former Vios Cup racer, is currently competing in the Super Sporting Class at the speedway. To complete the trio, a third celebrity will compete in the circuit race.
The popular Autocross Challenge, which features social media stars from various backgrounds, will return in conjunction with the racing event. This year’s class will include online celebrities Macoy Dubs, Genesis Redido, cyclist Ezra Domingo, and sportscaster Apple David. Reph Bangsil and model Arianne Bautista, who previously competed in the Vios Cup Autocross, are returning this year. The returnee Carla Lizardo and the newbie Megan Young, both beauty queens, will display their grace and beauty on the track as they join the Autocross lineup.
