The PSR 160cc category also took off on the same grid. Rider #27 John Paul Suba and rider #30 Justinne Bethany Tolentino continuously dominated the said class and ended the race with a 1-2 finish. On the other hand, rider #14 Vrei-ar Suba came short and landed on 5th position for the PSR 180cc category.
Philippine Underbone King Championships
Unpredictable Finish
It was a breathtaking race that everyone witnessed during the 3rd leg of the Philippine Underbone King Championships. Rider #23 McKinley Kyle Paz made a statement and proved that he deserves his place at the recently concluded ARRC held in Australia. Paz battled for every inch with the country’s top riders throughout the 10-lap race. He maintained his focus and determination throughout the race; with just a .019-second lead and registered the best speed of 221.59 km/h which secured him the first place in the UBK Expert class.

Centeno sped off with a best lap of 2:42.000 that gained him an astonishing 40 seconds lead at the 4.2 km circuit of the Clark International Speedway.
