The 2023 Tuason Racing Formula V1 Challenge Series is all geared up for its final round on November 25-26 at the Clark International Speedway in Pampanga. Race fans are promised an exhilarating conclusion to the championship as duels for race wins and the coveted overall titles are still wide open. Intense wheel-to-wheel action is on the horizon, as always
After a dominant performance in the second round, PRO class leader Iñigo Anton of Obengers Racing Team currently holds a commanding 25-point lead over his closest rival, Joaquin Garrido of Edgesport Racing. Japanese driver Kazuki Takemura of West Racing Team sits in 3rd overall, tied with Ribbon Arc Motorsport’s top bet John Dizon. Despite Anton’s advantage, Garrido still has a mathematical chance, as valuable points are up for grabs in the upcoming triple-header finale.
The AM Class, on the other hand, sees Autoholic Garage’s Rainy Medina on the driver’s seat heading into the final race weekend, but with just two points separating him and Tech 7 Garage’s Oliver Aquino. This sets the stage for an epic title duel, especially with the addition of rookie Juancho Brobio from Obengers Racing in the race classifications. Brobio made a significant impact in the previous round, securing victories on his debut and impressively keeping pace with the PRO Class drivers. Other contenders poised to disrupt the title chase include Paolo Ayo of Edgesport and Dondi San Jose of Moh’s Racing. Also, returning to the 2023 grid is Masanori Aya of West Racing Team flying straight from Japan to join the last round of the series.
With the stakes at their peak and the competition fierce, fans can eagerly look forward to the season’s unfolding drama on race weekend.
The grand finale of the 2023 Tuason Racing Formula V1 Challenge Series comes just a week before a three-driver contingent jets off to Suzuka, Japan, to represent the Philippines in the final round of the 2023 Suzuka Clubman Race. Defending PRO Class champion Milo Rivera, defending Amateur Class champion Bryan Co, and Joaquin Garrido will proudly carry the country’s flag, piloting the same Vita-01 Race Cars under the management of West Racing Japan. Stay updated on Team Philippines’ progress as they carry the flag and race towards the top step of the podium!
