Subic International Raceway

Subic International Raceway

Subic International Raceway is a racing circuit in the Philippines, built in 1994 on the site of a US naval base destroyed by eruption of Mount Pinatubo. Sport Values Inc. bought the site and started to rebuild.

The racing circuit is built over the fuel farm and refueling installation at the old Naval Air Station in Cubic Point. It caters well for spectators, with a close infield in front of the pits and viewing areas, with several combinations of corners. These are followed by a short grandstand straight, a series of esses, and then two long straights both with fast corners halfway, alongside the main runway, now the Subic Bay International Airport.Since then, the improvement and development of the track and competence of its officials has been at a constant pace. It gained FIM approval in 1997 and its grade four FIA license in 1998.

The track is 2.8 kilometres in length with 12 turns and has a 12 metre wide bitumen surface. Subic Bay has hosted South East Asia's Premier motorcycle, touring car and formula car events. The Marlboro Asia Pacific Road Racing Championship, Asian Festival of Speed (AFOS) featuring the Southeast Asian Touring Car Zone Challenge (SEATCZC) and the Asian Formula 2000 have all raced here, and it also hosts the Asian 1600 Touring Car Invitational Cup, the Philippine Japan Invitational Historic Car Races and the Hong Kong Classic Car Races. The major visitor to the track today is the Asian F3 Series.
