All-Japan stint for karter Cabrera

PRODIGIOUS karter Gabe Tayao-Cabrera competes today and tomorrow in the All-Japan Junior Championships at Suzuka International Circuit in Suzuka City, Mie prefecture.

Cabrera, fresh off his victories in the Formula 125 Open Junior, KF2-KF3 and the Yamaha Cup Novice races of the recent Asian Karting Open at Carmona Racetrack in Cavite, will race at Suzuka as the lone Filipino recruit of Japan’s world-renowned factory team Kosmic.

The Seaoil-DC-Kilton karter Cabrera topped the F-125 Open Junior over Singaporean aces Jon Lee Xuan and Gabriella Teo Yu Ting.

Cabrera also vied in the kickoff leg of the All-Japan Junior Championship last month.

“Recalling the lessons learned in the (kickoff) Japan race boosted my confidence in the Asian championships,” said Cabrera, who is also backed by Kilton, Uno Magazine and Point Zero Project. Steve Silva, Contributor
