Manila, Philippines - The country’s promising future racing superstars battle each other anew in the championship leg of the 2011 Castrol Champions of the Future Series tomorrow at the Carmona racetrack.

Cudala, a 12-year-old Grade 5 student of Elizabeth Seton School, currently holds solo leadership with 30 points as he guns for his third straight triumph in this series.
