All eyes will also be on Manila racer Lance Binamara who will try to steal the spotlight from Diapsupil and Aoyong in their group after Binamara has shown a lot of improvement in the last three stages of the race.  

Carlos Anton, including Mark Young Yokohama–Auto Shack team, is expected to take home the over-all crown enjoying a wide margin in terms of points going into the fifth and final stage of the auto racing circuit in this part of the country.

“It will be a great race to watch specially in group three because Dennis and Jason are battling neck to neck,” Anton said Friday who was also busy preparing his Mark Young-Yokohama–Auto Shack car for the race.

He only needs to finish in the points now to win a third consecutive Hill Climb crown and stamp his class in Philippine racing history.

In group one, Gary Loy will try to clinch the top honors with his Cab Speed prepared Honda while Kline Bayquen will go all out in the group four championship.

Bayquen will be parading a fully modified VR4 engine in his vehicle for race day in La Union.

In the battle for group two, Imay Datu and Frankie Domingo are also expected to go all out for the championship crown.
