Ford Focus-TRS finishes first, third in GT racing

MANILA, Philippines –  The Ford Focus-TRS Racing Team uncorked another impressive performance with four trophies behind the 1-3 finish of Marcus Wong and Sean Redpath recently in the fifth leg of the 2010 Philippine GT Championship recently at the Batangas Racing Circuit in Rosario, Batangas.

Wong, a Tuason Racing School graduate and a product of the Ford Focus Cup, captured the GT125 crown in both the sprint and final races while Redpath, who joined the TRS Racing family only this year, displayed marked improvement, finishing third in both divisions through the big support of Castrol, Ford Philippines, Goodyear, Coke Zero, Speedlab, Rota Wheels, Starbright Bodykits, Ultra Racing, Weapon R, Discovery Suites, Fremuff, OMP, Oakley, Toptul, Business World and C! Magazine.

As multi-titled racing champ Mike Tuason failed to show up in the race after experiencing backpains during practice, Wong stepped up for the team as he rallied from ninth place at the start.

He went up seventh on the second lap and took fifth on the next lap. From there, consistent aggressive driving kept him on the same spot.

Wong clocked 37 minutes, 10.162 seconds in the 18-lap race to turn back newcomer Arnel Carlos while Redpath, who stayed most of the time behind Wong, took third.

With the feat, Wong moved up second overall behind Stuart Donald in a tie with teammate Bobby Noriega with 54 points apiece while Redpath was third overall in the GT125 with 49.
