Kicking off the 2024 season with a bang, the ENEOS Super Sprint Series has drawn 130+ drivers last 4th of February making its first event of the year a success.

Coming out on top among the Prepped Class drivers, and narrowly besting his own father was Iñigo Anton in a Mazda MX-5 RF, with the day’s best 51.562 secs.
Amateur Class driver Irwin Viray brought home top honors with a 57.645 secs run, while in the Intermediate drivers it was Chad Lazaro who came out on top with a 56.652 secs run.
