SUBIC -- JODY COSETENG of San Mig Coffee and Alvin Santos of Kotse Network-Mark Young Racing Team ruled their respective divisions recently in the 2007 Philippine Touring Car Championship at the Subic International Raceway.

Despite losing in the final leg, Coseteng still bagged the overall crown in the Group 1 division for his 11th straight touring car title -- an unprecedented feat in Philippine motorsports.

Santos survived the challenge from a Japanese rival to complete a season sweep and capture the Group 3 title.

The title quest didn?t end the way Coseteng planned it to be. Due to some minor technicalities, Coseteng was penalized causing him to forego some points.

In the afternoon, Coseteng was about to redeem himself as he was way ahead of the pack when his engine suddenly blew up with eight laps to go, thus forcing him out of the race.

The day belonged to Kookie Ramirez of Petron-SRA who pulled a sweep in the final leg to capture the overall runner-up honors in the Group 1 category.

Louis Ramirez also of Petron-SRA took the runner-up finish over Nico Montinola of Akula Racing while Dennis Uy of Valvoline-Velocity Motors clinch runner-up honors over Louis Ramirez.
