MANILA, Philippines — Filipino racer Eduardo Coseteng impressed in his debut in the ADAC GT Masters, finishing first in the Pirelli Rookie Cup at the Hockenheimring circuit in Baden-Württemberg, Germany over the weekend.
Local racing patron and enthusiast Carlos Gono took to Facebook to congratulate Coseteng.
Meanwhile, Coseteng along with Huber Racing teammate Ben Green steered their BMW M4 GT3 to second-place finish in their ADAC GT Masters debut.
Per report by hockenheimring.de, Coseteng rallied from eighth place to fifth by the time he handed over the car to his teammate Ben Green, who picked it up from there to complete a spirited comeback in the 60-minute race.
Green, a two-time ADAC GT Masters race winner, was all praises for his Filipino teammate.
“A big compliment goes to Eduardo, who had an impressive debut. In the closing stages, I used all the power of our BMW M4 GT3, which allowed me to gain an advantage after the corners. I am very happy with the result. Second place is a super start to the season for the team,” Green told the website.
Coseteng made headlines last year when he notched his first British Formula 4 win at the Brands Hatch track in West Kingsdown, England in October 2022.
