The country’s hottest karter, Bianca Bustamante, heads the starting grid this weekend when the Petron Blaze 100 ROK GP Super Karting Series fires off the 2019 season with Races 1 and 2 at the Palawan International Circuit in Puerto Princesa City.
The 15-year-old reigning Asian Karting Open junior champion sets out to cement her place in senior racing as she guns for a two-round sweep in the ROK GP Blaze 100 class against Anthony Baisa, Jenn Tumambing, Princess Resuma and a host of other contenders.
Miguel Al Quinones and Tammy Baisa, two of the strongest performers in the recent Petron Blaze X30 Challenge Philippines series, backstop a talented field in the ROK GP 100 junior class that includes darkhorses Julio Trofeo and Tara Laconico in the opening pair of the six-leg racing season sponsored by Petron Corp.
Accompanying the back-to-back legs is the Palawan Invitational Race featuring up-and-coming karters from the province and the qualifiers from regional kart clinics.
The in-form Miguel Angeles and Brice Vincent Baisa are the biggest names in the hunt for the Mini ROK XCS title.
