Yamaha Motor Philippines set the bar in cultivating Philippine Racing and it goes beyond professional racers. The Yamaha bLU cRU Camp put together YCLUB Groups for the Mio Aerox and Sniper 155, as well as other racing enthusiasts for a weekend that will help them develop their abilities, become disciplined in the proper ways of racing, and cultivate the racing community.
A special racing clinic was held by Coach Joey Storm who shared his experience of the racetracks to unlock the potential of every rider. They were also trained by Yamaha Philippines Racing Team Riders McKinley Kyle Paz and Gian Carlo Mauricio which was a treat for everyone as they imparted the skills that made them shine in international competitions.
Their ‘training day’ was extra rigorous because of the inclement weather turned the Tarlac Circuit Hill into a slippery slope. But even with the downpour the riders were able to tough it out and hone their abilities to adapt to different racing situations. The following day was their first test as they began their qualifying sessions which will put them in either great position for a victory on race day or a difficult situation.
On Raceday, pride was not the only thing that these riders were competing for because the top team and best rider will experience the Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia to witness the top riders of the MotoGP battle it out.
The categories were Sniper155 and Mio Aerox categories for enthusiasts and Yclub members respectively. An exhibition race was also held with professional racers that included Paz and Maurcio as well as other top Filipino riders of the country.
In the end the winners were MIO Aerox bLU cRU YCLUB Race, Peter Paul Muñoz became the champion rider as ACP TEAM NEO RACING was named overall team winners. In the Sniper 155 bLU cRU YCLUB Race it was Laurence Kevin Cacal and the SNIPER 155 TEAM PAMPANGA. All were ecstatic with their victory and trip to Indonesia for the MotoGP.
Yamaha Motor Philippines will continue its development of racing in the country and more riders will have the opportunity to become better racers. One day, even becoming the next Filipino Racing Icon.
