DAQUIGAN COPS SECOND IN ASIA CLASSIC CAR MALAYSIA RACE
THE Philippine’s lone representative Dexter Daquigan collared second-place
Daquigan’s all-Filipino crew and team were able to tune his classic Mini Cooper to make it capture podium positions of the Classic Mini Championship and the bigger Asia Classic Car Challenge held during the same weekend at the Formula One track of Sepang. He scored two second places in the two Asia Classic races and second and third places in the two Classic Mini races.
“I am very happy to win these ran against the top champion drivers of the series,” said Daquigan after the races. “It was just reward for all the hard work that our team put in

wasn’t easy to take win against these showed what we can do.”
