The drag strip came alive this weekend as the Motul Drag Master Cup roared into full throttle—and MANIO RACING Team Lewy made sure their name echoed across the diesel class leaderboard. Fueled by passion, precision, and the power of Motul, the team delivered a thrilling performance that turned heads and earned respect.
Leading the charge was Mark Martin Pituc, who clinched 1st Runner-Up in the Diesel Class behind the wheel of his finely tuned Hyundai Accent, showcasing sharp reaction times and consistent power throughout the weekend.
Right behind him was teammate Archie Sebuc, who secured 2nd Runner-Up in the same category with his formidable Isuzu D-Max, proving that diesel can be both dominant and dynamic.
Both racers were fully geared in Alpinestars racing equipment, and proudly backed by Mysip Juice Drink, whose support kept the team energized and focused. But the weekend’s story wasn’t just about podiums—it was about perseverance.
Ywell Manio, the team’s founder and driver of the iconic Toyota Hilux known as the MOTUL Pickup Track, may not have landed a podium finish, but his performance was nothing short of heroic. Despite fuel system issues on Day 1 and Day 2, which hampered his chances for a top-three finish, Manio powered through with grit and determination. 
He placed 5th in the Sportsman Class and emerged as the Looser’s Bracket Winner in the Expert Class, proving that true racers don’t back down—they adapt and fight harder.
The team’s success was a testament to their unity, preparation, and the strength of their partnerships. At the heart of their performance was Motul, delivering world-class lubrication and engine protection that kept every vehicle running at peak power. Alpinestars outfitted the racers in top-tier safety gear, ensuring confidence and control on the strip. Motolite provided reliable battery support, powering every start with consistency. Mysip Juice Drink kept the team refreshed and focused throughout the intense weekend, while Imprint Customs added a personal touch with custom gear and branding that made the team stand out. Together, these sponsors didn’t just support a race—they helped fuel a movement in grassroots motorsports.
And the journey doesn’t stop here. MANIO RACING Team Lewy is gearing up for their next big challenge—Motul Racewars 2025, happening this December 13–14, 2025 at Clark International Speedway.
With a staggering ₱3 million total prize pool on the line, the event promises to be the most electrifying and intense racing showdown of the year.
Fueled by experience, resilience, and the unwavering support of their partners, the team is ready to bring the heat once again. Whether it’s diesel power or pure determination, MANIO RACING is set to prove that their legacy is just getting started—and the next chapter will be written in tire marks and triumph.
