Round 2 of the Phoenix Pulse Formula V1 Virtual Cup has come and gone, and it brought a new set of winners to the local racing scene.
In the wake of the pandemic, virtual events have emerged as an attractive option for safe and fun racing experiences. Now in its second season, the FV1 Virtual Cup is continuing its promise of accessible high-octane action.
In total, 110 hopeful racers joined the second round when it started in August, but only a handful would come out on top. Races 3 and 4, which were broadcast live on Tuason Racing’s Facebook page, were the epitome of spirited virtual racing.
Each racer fought with everything they had, but in the end, it was Veloce Ragazzo Squadra’s Francis Metrillo and Legion Of Racers’ Luis Moreno who emerged as champions this time around.
In race 3, Metrillo showed dominance in the AM Class with his high race IQ and careful maneuvering. Jempoy Resing’s Pio Pascual showed promise by recording the fastest lap of the race on his way to 2nd place. Meanwhile, RNR Motorsport’s Roi Numer Riparip settled for 3rd place.
