Team Philippines composed of Russel Reyes, Matthew Ang and Luis Moreno are bound for Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to compete in the Asia Finals of Toyota GAZOO Racing Gran Turismo Cup (TGR GT Cup) on September 24.
MANILA, Philippines — Russel Reyes, 22, has always been interested in car racing because of the thrill that it provides. But, it’s not that simple to get inside a racetrack and drive fast cars. Motorsports, after all, is expensive.
“Since I started sim racing in the GT Cup, it’s been very fun. I met a lot of people along the way who are very important in my career. It got me a job as well so that’s a huge milestone for me,” Reyes shared. “My experience has been honestly amazing. Competing with these top-level drivers. I’ve learned so much about what I can and can’t do on the track and what I need to improve on to get better and hopefully beat the other teams at the Asia regionals,” Ang told Philstar.com in a separate interview.
All three are busy training for the Asia Finals, putting in as much seat time as they can—or what Reyes described as all-nighters.
