I had a pretty big accident at the race track this weekend. Good news, everyone is going to be okay. Probably gonna be sore and bruised for a few days. I'm just so thankful because it could have been worse. That's a tough little car we driving there. Despite the outside damage, the driver's area was totally untouched. We also have a roll cage, race suit and helmet and most especially the HANS (head and neck) device to keep us safe. I'd like to thank @toyotamotorphilippines and @tuasonracing along with the track marshals, medical team, organizers and sponsors and many more. True professionals Photos: 1.

The traditional beer shower during the awarding ceremony. It usually means a good thing. 4. Nabbed 1st place in my class for race #4 5. After the accident I went to the hospital to have a quick checkup. I found out that both cars landed across the finish line during the last lap. So I ended up 1st in my class. What a crazy ending. 6. Saved the best for last. Here at the awarding with @johndizon_ the driver of the car I hit. He's a champ and a beast on the track. More details on the accident later. The most important thing is that he's okay. 📸 @equinoxmanila
