ROK Cup Philippines Round 5

Antonio Racelis at ROK Cup Philippines Round 5

Round 5 of the ROK Cup Philippine Series took place at Clark International Speedway under challenging night-race conditions. Heavy rain made visibility extremely difficult and tested every driver's focus and control.

During time trials, I had a late start and completed only five laps, placing me 10th for the qualifying heats. I stayed focused and worked my way forward, finishing 5th, 6th, and 10th in the three heats. These results placed me 5th for the pre-final, where I fought my way to 4th.

The 13-lap final became even more difficult when heavy rain arrived on Lap 9. With conditions becoming unsafe, the race was stopped on Lap 10. I finished 1st runner-up, earning another podium in a race that tested my patience, adaptability, and determination.

This podium also earned me the opportunity to represent the Philippines at the 2025 ROK Superfinals in the MiniROK category at South Garda Karting in Lonato, Italy, held from October 14-18. Representing my country on an international stage was a special achievement and an opportunity I was truly grateful for.
