On March 18, all roads will lead to the Batangas Racing Circuit (BRC) as the country’s premier grassroots motor sport event, the FlatOut Race Series (FORS), will hold its 2017 season opening round.

It will comprise of 2 rounds, a 4-hour preliminary round on June 4 and an 8-hour championship round on November 25. Both will take place at the BRC.
