2022 Petron Motorsports Karting Academy

On August 12, 2022, I joined the Petron Motorsports Karting Academy as part of the requirements to compete in the 2023 National Races and Asian Karting Open Championships. That day became a very special moment in my young racing journey.

The morning was filled with lessons, where I learned both the theory and practical skills of karting. In the afternoon, we had a time trial competition. It was my very first competition, and I was excited but also a little nervous.

I remembered everything Coach Bong Perez of BRacing Development had taught me and tried my best to put those lessons into practice. When I finished my run, I was very happy to learn that I had set the fastest time of the day and became the Champion.

Standing on the podium and receiving my first-ever trophy was an unforgettable moment for me. It was more than just a trophy—it was the beginning of my journey as a young racer and a reminder that with hard work, courage, and the right people guiding me, I could achieve things I once only dreamed about.
