Bannered by drivers Andre Tan, Milo Rivera, Kody Ng, Patrick Mendoza, and Brennan Lim, the GAC Motor Racing Team bagged the 2021 Kagitingan Cup 6-hour race Championship and the 2021 Kalayaan Cup 4-hour race Championship both in Open B Category, aside from earning runner-up honors in the premier 12-hour race.

Driving a GAC GA4 1.5 MT, the GAC team, with the four drivers alternately taking turns at the wheel, performed flawlessly and managed to climb up from 11th place to 2nd place in the 12-hour race.

With over two hours left on the clock, Rivera kept the GAC team's 4-lap lead over Mike Potenciano of Mark Young Racing Cars all the way to the finish.

Apart from earning the second spot at the 12-hour race, GAC Motor Racing Team also bagged the 2021 Kagitingan Cup 6-hour race Championship and the 2021 Kalayaan Cup 4-hour race Championship Title both in Open B Category.

“This year’s race has a lot of safety risks and challenges due to the pandemic. It’s a new car that we’ve raced in a 12-hour endurance challenge, so basically, it is a whole new experience for us. Through hard work and dedication, we were able to overcome these challenges and managed to win 1st in our class, and 2nd overall champion,” said Brennan Lim, branch head of GAC Motor Metrowalk, Pasig.

For a 12-hour endurance race, it was a crisscross of race positions and a battle of strategy, but it was the reliability of the GA4 that ultimately made GAC Motor Racing Team dominate in the 2021 Kalayaan Cup Endurance Challenge. The GA4 1.5 MT made it through the checkered flag without any mechanical issues and pitted only for refueling, tire, and driver changes.

GAC Motor Racing Team will return to Batangas Racing Circuit for the 2021 Bonifacio Cup 8-hour Endurance Race this November.

The GAC Motor Race Team is slowly turning endurance races into its own playground. Two years ago, the team bagged four championships in the 2019 Kalayaan Cup 4-hour Endurance Championship (Manufacturer’s Class), the 2019 Kalayaan Cup 12-hour Endurance Championship (Manufacturer’s Class), the 2019 Bonifacio Cup 4-hour Endurance Championship (Manufacturer’s Class) and the 2019 Bonifacio Cup 4-hour Endurance Championship (Open Category).
