MANILA, Philippines — The country will play host to one of the legs of the Euro Nascar Touring Series starting next year, the organizing Toleman-Pastor Asian Motorsports, Inc.(TPAM) announced Friday.
 

The deal was signed recently by TPAM, led by its chairman Ted Toledo and CEO Tom Pastor, and Euro-Nascar Touring Series CEO Jerome Galpin, making the country one of two Asian hosts of the fast rising motorsport event.


Euro Nascar is now affiliated with the popular American Nascar. The winner of this year’s event will actually earn a spot in next year Nascar USA.


Enzo Pastor, who qualified in the Zanvoorth championship in Amsterdam last year, will be the country’s lone representative for this year’s Euro Nascar which starts in Nogaro, France in April.


If Pastor can get more sponsors, he’s also set to race in the V8 Supercar Series in Australia. He did well in V8 Supercar in Gold Coast last year as well as in Triple 8 Team Vodafone (Euro Nascar) during his test.


TPAM, which has yet to pick which racetrack in the country the event will be held, is also looking for a co-driver who will team up with Enzo.
 
 
Also present during the agreement were China’s Simeon Chan, director for China, Enzo Pastor and Chuck Cuenca.
