After an impressive showing at the 2021 Kalayaan 12-hour endurance race, Ribbon Arc Motorsports is making its return to the Petron Makabayan Cup Endurance Series.

The last time the young team competed in the 12-hour race, they entered a pair of Toyota Corolla AE92s in the Open B Class and won the Team Award for covering the most laps around the Clark International Speedway. But this year, Ribbon Arc Motorsports is aiming for success in the Prototype class.

This will be the very first time a Formula V1 race car will enter a 12-hour endurance race, and Ribbon Arc Motorsports is taking on the challenge with a lineup of skilled and very experienced international drivers.

Australian race car driver and Nurburgring 24h veteran Christopher Gleeson will be driving the Formula V1 race car with BMW 116i endurance series driver Thomas Day from England, German-born motocross rider Daniel Sedlak, American Trophy Truck driver Scott Whitehead and Formula Vita Japan champion Kazuki Takemura.

“Ribbon Arc Motorsports is stepping up to a much higher level on our return to endurance racing, and we have our team prepared for that. We believe our lineup of skilled international drivers together with the Formula V1 race car is a combination that would give us a successful run in the 12-hour endurance race,” said Quattro Adriano, Team Principal and Owner of Ribbon Arc Motorsports.

The Kalayaan 12-hour enduro serves as the second round of the 2023 Petron Makabayan Cup Endurance Series. The longest motorsport race in the country will be held at the Clark International Speedway on June 11, 2023. The five red lights will go out by 5:30 AM Philippine time.

Ribbon Arc Motorsports is supported by the EMS Group, NuCom Digital, Unioil FuelKing Group, West Coast Biofuel, Top1 Philippines, Atlas Endurance, Bendix, Tuason Racing, Pinky Parts Ph, Ever Since Street Club, East Side Collective, Sim Racing Pilipinas, and Productivv Crew.
