Team Phillipines have lifted the champion’s trophy at the end of the 2025 Asia Pacific Motorsport Championship which has delivered an unforgettable weekend in Sri Lanka featuring over 200 competitors, each representing their nation, who battled it out for medal honours across 6 dynamic motor sport categories.

The championship, hosted by the Ceylon Motor Sports Club (CMSC) at the SpeedBay Circuit in Bandaragama, put the FIA’s values of inclusivity, accessibility and affordability at the heart of the event and demonstrated the power of regional events to inspire and drive motor sport participation.

The second edition of the APMC will be remembered for its close competition but also for the legacy it leaves behind, providing a blueprint for regional motor sport development across the world. The unveiling of a locally built FIA Affordable Cross Car and inclusion of 3 karting categories, Esports and the use of everyday vehicles like the Hyundai Grand i10 in Auto Gymkhana also proved that high-level motor sport doesn’t have to come with a high price tag.

Following three days of competition, Team Philippines emerged as the overall champions, with just a single bronze medal separating them and hosts Sri Lanka in the final medal table:

Philippines - 2 Gold, 2 Silver, 2 Bronze

Sri Lanka - 2 Gold, 2 Silver, 1 Bronze

Hong Kong - 2 Gold, 1 Silver, 2 Bronze

Returning disciplines included Karting Sprint, which featured emerging regional talent across Cadet, Junior, and Senior categories. Karting Slalom attracted over 40 competitors who navigated a challenging course designed to test memory, precision and speed. Esports also highlighted the growing role of virtual racing in grassroots motor sport development with the winners receiving Next Level Racing F-GT Lite rigs to support their racing careers.

Mohammed Ben Sulayem, FIA President, said:

"The Asia Pacific Motorsport Championship has shown the power of motorsport to unite a region. I thank Ceylon Motor Sports Club for organising a brilliant championship that has delivered world-class competition and demonstrated how motorsport can be affordable, inclusive and accessible to all.

"I congratulate Team Philippines on their well-deserved victory and to every competitor who competed across the six disciplines.”

Valerio Iachizzi, FIA Secretary General for Sport, said:

“APMC has brought together the entire region in an incredible display of the power of motor sport to unite and inspire. It was an honour to be in Sri Lanka for the Championship and I’d like to thank CMSC for their incredible organisation which has set a new standard for regional motor sport events across the world.”
