2024 Tillotson T4 Nations Cup

Antonio Racelis representing the Philippines at the T4 Nations Cup

One of the most exciting experiences of my karting journey was competing in the 2024 Tillotson T4 Nations Cup at Kartodromo Internacional Lucas Guerrero in Chiva, Valencia, Spain. I was honored to be one of only four drivers representing the Philippines in the T4 Mini category, competing against 35 drivers from different countries.

Racing on a new international circuit against experienced drivers was challenging, but it gave me the opportunity to learn, improve, and experience competition at a different level. I finished 18th in the Time Trial, followed by 22nd, 17th, and 18th in the qualifying heats. After finishing 27th in the Super Heat, I fought my way forward in the Final to finish 15th.

Although I did not reach the podium, I was proud to represent the Philippines on an international stage. Meeting and racing alongside drivers from different countries made the experience even more meaningful. It reminded me that every race, regardless of the result, is an opportunity to learn, grow, and become a better driver.
