MANILA, Philippines - CJ Tsui of Industria Racing and Milo Rivera of Fern-C Racing topped their respective events in the KF2-KF3 Cup Series at the Carmona Racetrack in Cavite recently.

Milo Rivera actually seized control in the early goings of Round 3, enjoying a wide distance against Tsui and Industria Racing teammate Bobby Domingo until the 13th lap where a loose worn out tire caused him to spin out and take the early exit.

Domingo made a big move on the 12th lap to wrest second place from Tsui and soon took over the pole on the 14th lap after Rivera’s ouster.
