Father-son tandem shines in Philippine Grant Tour Race

Paolo Ivan Santos and his father Paul cruised their way to the podium first and second, respectively, in the first race of the third leg of the 2018 Yokohama Philippine Grant Touring Championships held at the rain-soaked Clark International Speedway in Clark Field, Pampanga on July 22.

Carrying the colors of Team Shell Helix Ultra-Big Chill Racing, the father and son duo got off to a strong start in the first race that covered 10 laps. The Santoses came in 1-2 onboard their TS Tuning-Dax Santiano tuned Honda FD racecars despite the not so ideal road conditions brought about by the rains. The younger Santos posted a time record of 23:29.010, beating his father who came in 2.614 seconds later.
