TRS now accepting enrollees for their 1-day Basic Circuit Racing Class
Want to learn how to race cars the right way? Here's your chance. Tuason Racing School (TRS) is once again accepting enrollees for their 1-day Basic Circuit Racing Class this coming April. They'll teach you the basics on threshold braking, downshifting, racing line, and track lapping under the guidance of none-other-than multi-titled racing champion, JP Tuason.
All you need to have is a valid driver's license, ability to drive a manual transmission car, and P18,000 for the course fee. But for those who are underage and have no license, TRS is willing to make an exception. Just get a written consent and certification from either a parent or guardian stating that the enrollee knows how to drive.

Bridgestone Cup Round 2: Wading through mud with the Dueler
Words by Beeboy Bargas | Photos by Christopher Kho
Bridgestone puts its 4x4 and SUV tires where its mouth is by staging the second round of the Bridgestone Cup at the Clark International Speedway (CIS) last September. This leg is geared towards demonstrating the Dueler All-Terrain (A/T 697) and Dueler Mud-Terrain (M/T 673) tires, both for on-road and off-road use.Organized by the Philippine Allied Enterprises Corp. (PAEC), Bridgestone Tires' official distributor in the country, two challenges were prepared to demonstrate the logic of using the right tire for the right “off-the-paved-road” driving condition. And to keep a level playing field, we were divided in to teams of two - one experienced driver matched with a less experienced one. As a veteran of the rough stuff, I was partnered with Kotse.com Assistant Editor, Carlo Sapera.

Bridgestone Cup Round 1: Pushing the Potenza S001 to the limit
Words by Ronnie Trinidad | Photos by Christopher Kho
The Potenza S001 is currently Bridgestone's flagship high performance sports driving tire. Designed to provide optimum grip in both wet and dry conditions, improved traction and braking performance, and quiet high speed cruising, this makes it the perfect choice for some the world's fastest supercars. It's the same factory-fitted tires on the Ferrari 458 Italia, Aston Martin Rapide, and the Lexus LF-A. But that doesn't mean we need to buy a supercar just to experience the Potenza S001.
Philippine Allied Enterprises Corp. (PAEC), Bridgestone Tires' official distributor in the country, recently launched the Bridgestone Cup - a three part invitational race series where we put their best tires to the test, in terms of track performance, off road abilities, and fuel economy savings.
The first round was a performance challenge held at the Batangas Racing Circuit (BRC) last August. Organized by Tuason Racing School (TRS), it was the perfect chance for us to push their new Potenza S001 to the limits even if we can't afford a supercar. And what best way to do so than in a brand new Toyota 86 and BMW 118d Sport Line.

2011 TRS Cup Leg 3: Horrigan crowned champion! (w/ video)
Words and photos by Christopher Kho | Video by Jade Lu
With a mere one point lead against closest-rival Bobby Horrigan, it was all or nothing for championship leader Charlie Cojuanco during the third and final leg of the 2011 TRS Cup powered by the Ford Fiesta last January 29, 2012 at the Batangas Racing Circuit. The race weekend also saw some new faces lining up on the grid: Mike Lagman was in the MCGP Fiesta vacated by Benjo Bernabe, while Korean Mickey Kim drove his brand-spanking new Team Auto Access Fiesta.
Things were looking good from the very beginning for Bobby Horrigan, having qualified for pole position with a lap time of 2:07.799. Mickey Kim also surprised spectators on his debut outing, qualifying in second. Conjuanco, on the other hand, had a lot of ground to make up in the race with his 2:09.250 lap, which was only good enough for fifth place.
