Anton stretches lead in national autocross

BULACAN, Philippines –  Multi-titled race car champ Carlos Anton stretched his lead following his back-to-back triumph aboard the Mark Young-Yokohama-prepared CRX in the Philippine Autocross Championship recently here.

“This race was very hard to win because I was so tired coming from two races of the Hillclimb series held the day before in La Union but luckily we were able to still snatch the win,” Anton said.

David Lim of Cebu, using his DGL prepared CRX, came in second overall while veteran racer Mato Tan of Manila rounded up the top three that drew over 50 racers from all over the country.

“David (Lim) and Mato (Tan) gave me a real run for the money this race, there was nothing in it between us. All our cars were prepared well and it was exciting for the spectators to watch head-to-head racing on identical tracks,” Anton said.

Along with the best time of the day award, Anton also won five other divisions on board his CRX, which was prepared by team owner Mark Young.
