Philippine Invitational TC Championship
Last weekend the JP Raceway in the Philippines played host to the Masaaki Hirosaka sponsored Philippine Invitational Touring Car Championship. Mr. Hirosaka’s sponsored driver Nicholas Lee from Singapore dominated the Open Modified Class using his Kyosho Stallion, taking TQ in all 4 rounds of qualifying and won all 3 legs of the final. In the 3rd leg he was pushed very hard by local Serpent racer Ralph Lorenzo and his performance was rewarded with 2nd overall in class, finishing in front of Hot Bodies driver Raffy Abello who claimed 3rd overall. The 23 Turn Open Stock class was dominated by Hot Bodies driver Jerome Supan, who won from Josh Castro who took 2nd, with Tamiya racer Joseph Salcedo claiming 3rd.
