Cebu’s Lim seizes Regional Driver of the Year crown anew

Cebu’s motorsports king David Lim bagged the Philippine Autocross Championship Regional Driver of the Year for the third straight time.

DGL, as he is called in the autocross industry, was feted during the Visayas Series prize-giving ceremony held Dec. 20.

The team captain of the multititled DGL Motorsports Race Team put in a consistent showing in the four legs of the series and earned the overall Regional Champion’s title for the third consecutive year with a total of 31 points.

Lim capped his yearlong sterling performance by dominating the last leg of the Visayas series held at the Gaisano Bowlingplex parking lot last Nov. 19 and 20.

Lim’s son, David Jr., the 2010 Kartzone series Rookie of the Year, also showed he was ready to compete with the veterans as he finished fourth overall with 21 points and topped the Experienced Modified C and Open A classes.

The Visayas series was also held in Bacolod in July with support from Federal Tyres, HKS Super Oil, Cebu MMF Glass and Aluminum, The Coriander and Rico’s Lechon. Steve Silva, Contributor
