Cabrera caps romp in Petron kart series

MANILA, Philippines - Seaoil-DC karter Gabriel Tayao Cabrera swept all races in the final two legs of the Petron Blaze 100 ROK Cup Karting Super Series to capture the ROK overall and junior crowns at the Carmona Racetrack in Cavite recently.

Cabrera, a 14-year-old Grade 10 student from Makati Hope Christian School, dominated the field again with his superb karting skills as he wrapped up the season with a sweep of all seven legs of the series sanctioned by the Automobile Association Philippines.             

The victory also assured Cabrera of the 2014 Petron Junior Karter of the Year honors.

Jacob Ang of Eagle Cement actually pressed Cabrera in all six races but fell short of his bid and settled for the ROK Overall and ROK Junior runner-up honors in the event sponsored by Petron, Petron Blaze 100 Euro 4, Petron XCS, Petron Ultron, Petron Xtra, Petron Sprint, Magnolia Pure Water and Yokohama.

Ang also took the Petron ROK Clubman of the Year title.

Bobby Domingo of Formula-E Racing checked in third while beating Wayne Darvin of Total Racing in a separate encounter that netted him the overall ROK Senior Blaze 100 crown.
