Titan Cup 2013 Race for Relief – Report

The recent Titan Cup 2013 saw the running of an 1/8th nitro on-road, GT and 200mm class with all earnings being donated to the victims of typhoon Yolanda which recently ravaged the Visayas region. In the 1/8 class Serpent drivers Clemen Pancho and Rico Mendoza constantly swapped positions during the final until both ran into mechanical problems making way for Ricky Tangan (Serpent) who then went on to win the race in front of Rico Mendoza and Edward Sio.
