SCHOOLING THE YOUNGSTERS, ACAYAN WINS 2019 PHRX CHAMPIONSHIP T
he Philippine Rallycross Series has been advocating the revival of the rally racing scene in the country. Inspired by the heydays of local rally racing back in the 80s to 90s, the people behind PHRX have been organizing dirt time trial racing since 2015. The series have since produced countless champions and one of the recent champions of the series is veteran rally driver and navigator, Steve Acayan.

Acayan was hailed champion of the Group 2 Classification of the 2019 season. Another perk of being champion in this category, Acayan also gets the honor of being a Golden Wheel Driver of the Year for Rallycross awardee. The Golden Wheel is a prestigious award-giving body recognizing the best in the local motorsports scene. Though the current pandemic postponed Acayan from receiving these awards, the PHRX champion was kind enough to sit down and reminisce his journey towards championship last year.
