The Grand Prix 3 series was held in the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona, Spain where the 20-year-old Hungarian Tamas Pal Kiss raised the flag of victory.

Soon after the start of the car racing competition, everybody was shocked to the unexpected collision from the three drivers out of their way off the line.  The Filipino-Swiss Marlon Stockinger went out of his track and hit one of the cars from behind.

The rest among the drivers behind him weaved to avoid the swirling color blue Jenzer car Atech CRS GP of Stockinger. The four tires were removed from the car. Luckily,he was not hurt from the accident.

During the interview of Dyan Castillejo of ABS-CBN via Skype Stockinger said that he was in the fifth gear when he hit the troubled car ahead of him.

He saw the missing wheels but he said he was just okay. He was not hurt so much because of the built-in high tech carbon fiber material of the car. It was the reason why he was not able to feel the impact even if he was riding 150 kilometers per hour.

He thought that he could finish the competition but the car was severely damaged and he was not able to bring the car back with its four wheels, he said.

Furthermore,he said that the incident cannot hinder his ambition to achieve the F1 racing. He appreciated everyone for supporting him through prayers which kept him safe in the race.

Stockinger will be back racing on June 24 at Valencia, Spain.
