NANAIG ang diskarte at galing nina Andre Varquez at Iñigo Anton sa race 3 ng Phoenix Pulse Formula V1 Virtual Cup – ipinalabas sa Tuason Racing Facebook Page – nitong Sabado (November 21).
Sabak sa ginayang Laguna Seca racetrack, nagpatuloy ang hidwaan sa Phoenix Pulse Formula V1 Virtual Cup Race 3, at nagawang mangibabaw nina Varquez at Anton sa Reverse Grid Position ng PC-based Assetto Corsa game.
Magaan na nadomina ni Varquez ang liderato sa AM Class laban kina Race 2 champion Julian Colvin Tang (2nd place) at Patrick Malicsi (3rd place) sa Virtual Cup na itinataguyod ng Phoenix Petroleum Philippines, Inc., LG Philippines, BlueChem, Bendix, PC Express, at Family Mart. Naitala ni Varquez ang pinakamabilis na tyempong 01:34.424.
“I had a good start on the race. I already secured my position at the first corner of the racetrack. I’ve seen that there was a huge pile at the back, so I kept going on. I don’t have to push myself, I just need to retain my consistency. Laguna Seca is super slippery, one mistake, and it will make a huge loss in everyone’s performance,” pahayag ni Varquez.
Sa PRO Class category, maayos naman nakuha nina Anton, Estefano Rivera at Russel Reyes ang podium finish. Naitala naman ni Rivera ang fastest lap na 01:32.603.
“The track was so difficult and the grip level was so low. So during the race, I got a very keen start and very keen lap. From there on, I just kept the level head and just tried to be very consistent and at the same time try not to commit any mistakes,” sambit ni Anton.
Bunsod ng ipinapatupad na quarantine, isinasagawa ng Tuason Racing at Phoenix Pulse ang Formula V1 series via Virtual Cup, sa suporta ng Autocar, Auto Deal, C! Magazine, Inquirer Mobility, Time Attack Manila, at Wheels Philippines.
