Bridgestone backs Tuason's German bid

MANILA, Philippines – Bridgestone has given its full backing to JP Tuason who is set to see action in the Porsche Sports Cup at the Nurburgring F1 Circuit in Germany this month.

Known as the world’s leading racing tires, Bridgestone has always supported all levels of motorsports from karting, touring cars and motorbikes locally and worldwide to help nurture future champions.

Marc Tagle, general manager of Bridgestone Phils., believes Filipino racers have what it takes to be among the world’s best drivers. Through Bridgestone’s support, the stint of TRS founder and president JP Tuason in Germany will continue to open doors for Filipinos in the international racing scene.

“We believe in the potential of motorsports as the next sport Filipinos will be known for globally after boxing and football,” said Tagle. “We’ve been in racing events worldwide, and we saw that Filipino racers have great chances of making it big in the international racing. All they need is proper logistics to take the first step to their dream.”

Tuason, who has raced and trained all over the world, has put up a systematic and scientific curriculum that TRS uses in training the Filipino racers. With his stint in Germany, he aims to open doors for students to compete in Europe and take steps closer to their Formula 1 dream.

“With the support of companies like Bridgestone, we are able to participate in events of this caliber. Not only will we have the needed key learning on how to prepare more Filipinos in the global arena, but we will be recognized as a major contender for opportunities in racing in Asia,” said Tuason.
