ABS-CBN talent and Showtime’s Girl Trends Member Chie Filomeno has always loved car racing. In the past years, Chie participated in the much talked about Toyota Vios Cup along other celebrity drivers Gretchen Ho, Fabio Ide, Troy Montero, Aubrey Miles, Daniel Matsunaga, and Gerald Anderson.
The Autocross Challenge and the Circuit Championship happened last August 31 at the Clark International Speedway.
During Chie’s race, she got into an accident and crashed her car on the inner wall of the racetrack. Good thing the race cars were properly prepared and equipped with safety harnesses and roll cages to ensure that the cars could take care of the drivers in case of accidents.
Chie shared photos and videos of the incident on her Instagram account explaining what happened and assuring us that she is in good condition despite the accident.
She also shared that many people don’t understand her passion for racing, but that she will still continue doing so in the next leg of the racing event in November.
What do you think of racing as a hobby? Would you try it?
