The wait is over.

The MP Turbo Racing School of Champions, initially postponed, is now set to take place on Saturday, 3 June at the R33 Drift Track in San Simon, Pampanga.

The full-day event will provide a platform for both novice and experience­d drivers to learn and enhance their racing skills.

The MP Turbo team of instructor­s, including renowned champions Carlos and Inigo Anton, will guide participan­ts through a series of modules. These modules will cover critical areas such as braking, slalom, driving lines, and dynamics on the tarmac. Individual sessions for advanced racers will also be available.

Mike Potenciano, along with Carlos and Inigo Anton, will spearhead the event. Potenciano, a veteran in Philippine motorsport­s, has been instrument­al in promoting and developing the sport in the country. His MP Turbo initiative is a testament to this commitment.

Carlos Anton, a seasoned racing driver, will bring his invaluable experience to the table. As a mentor, he will provide participan­ts with a unique opportunit­y to learn from a profession­al racer.

Inigo Anton, Carlos' son, has already proven himself in the world of motorsport­s. His participat­ion as an instructor, despite his young age, will provide a fresh perspectiv­e to those looking to start their racing careers.

The event is structured to provide maximum value to its participan­ts. The morning sessions will focus on instructio­nal modules, while the afternoon will be dedicated to practical time trials, including the Arrive and Drive and Super-battle Shakedowns.

Additional perks for early registrant­s include event T-shirts, lunch packs, and snacks. The registrati­on fee of 5k can be convenient­ly paid through GCash or bank transfer. Participan­ts are required to bring their own car, helmet, and gloves. For those who do not own a helmet, the organizers will provide some. To ensure ample track time for everyone, the slots for this event are limited. The day will conclude with the awarding of trophies to the winners of the time trials in a separate event.

Special thanks go to Raymond Ronquillo, the owner of R33, for supporting the event and helping promote motorsport­s in the country. Don't miss this opportunit­y to learn from the best.
