About Me

Early Carrer
As his dad was a racer and superbike champion in the Philippines in 2018, it is not surprising that Alfonsi competed on two wheels. He started in 2015, flat tracking a KTM 50.
By the time his dad was scoring his superbike title success at home, Alfonsi was contesting the Daijiro Cup in Japan, winning in 2016,17 and 18. In 2017 and 19 he also won the prestigious Carrera Grande.
In 2021, he was racing back home in the MotoIR All-Star series, a top miniGP category, and he finished second. For 2022, he moved to the 120 category in the Philippines Superbike series and took second.
In 2023, it was back to Japan and the Honda Racing School of Suzuka, where he was 5th. 2024 was a big year; he won the Philippines Supersports championship and took 9th in the Asia Talent Cup.

2025 Season
Even more ATC success followed in 2025 with a winning double at the Mandalika round on his way to 3rd in the series. Racing in Europe netted 22nd in the European Talent Cup.
The Mandalika success was very special, not only winning at home but the way he did it. “I won Race 1 even after a double long lap penalty, and I also won Race 2. I also very much enjoyed racing in Europe in the ETC, and my best weekend was in Catalunya because I felt competitive from the start of Thursday practice and I was able to fight with the front group., taking 7th at the end.”

“I like a lot the flowing tracks, and in 2025 I learnt to be more disciplined and to learn a lot more about what I need to succeed in my racing career. I want to be World Champion.”
