A new player is looking to change how Filipinos get into motorcycle racing.

MotoCamp Riding School—led by commercial pilot and racer Che Estepa—officially launched at MotoMarket (Libis) with a focus on accessibility, structure, and cutting through the usual barriers that turn beginners away.

Positioned as a “progressive racing camp,” the program bridges the gap between track days and actual racing. It follows a simple two-day format: practice, familiarization, then a five-lap race. A mini track day is required prior to this, ensuring that participants come in with basic riding knowledge.

Sanctioned by MORAC (National Motorcycle Racing Championships), MotoCamp emphasizes discipline—something Estepa draws from aviation, where progression is built on repetition, discipline and structured training.

However, MotoCamp’s pitch is also related to addressing Filipino racing culture.

The school openly addresses issues within the local racing scene, particularly intimidation, gatekeeping, and politics that discourage new riders. The goal is a more transparent, nonpartisan environment where beginners can progress without needing connections.

It also aims to clean up substandard practices by standardizing training and loosely aligning with global benchmarks like MotoGP.

Backed by partners such as Overrev Tuning and Overdrive Moto, the program includes cash prizes to keep things competitive. It targets beginners and keeps the format as approachable as possible. While racing events are nothing new, MotoCamp argues that the real gap is in the development phase.

The event happens on June 6-7, 2026, at Clark International Speedway. Registration fee is P4,000 per category. You can get more information here.
