Bianca Bustamante to return to PH for ‘Race to Inspire’ event

MANILA: Bianca Bustamante will return to the Philippines for a motorsport-themed event dubbed “Race to Inspire.”

The three-day affair (scheduled from August 9-11) will see the first Filipina to compete and win in F1 Academy spend time to meet and greet her fans at the Central Atrium in SM Mall of Asia.

“Motorsport has become hugely popular across the Philippines over the past few years, and with the support of some great partners, we aim to bring motorsport even closer to the general public by bringing unique racing experiences for people of all ages,” wrote the event presenter.

The Laguna-native, McLaren F1 Academy driver will be sharing her awe-inspiring journey of grit and determination that has seen her grow from a small-town girl racing go-karts to an international rising star in formula machines.

Joining Bustamante will be race driver Marlon Stockinger; content creator, car builder, and passionate farmer Angie Mead King; Philippine National Women’s football player Inna Palacios; Philippine National Wushu athlete Agatha Wong; and GoTyme Bank Chief Marketing Officer Raymund Villanueva.

Together, they will talk about topics such as the growth of motorsports in the Philippines, the advancement of women in sports, how athletes overcome adversities, as well as their future goals and aspirations.

Other activities

In addition to the fan meet and the panel discussion, fans can participate in other activities such as racing simulators that run EA Sports’ F1 ‘24, a BlazePod spot (interactive flash reflex training system), high-speed slot cars, and remote-controlled car racing.

Attendees will get the chance to win prizes by participating in event activities.
