Championship: LIGIER EUROPEAN SERIES
Sebastien was born in Calamba, Philippines, and began karting at seven years old. He entered his first season of racing in the Philippines while still very young, and in his debut year, clinched both the overall championship and earned Rookie of the Year. With results as such, he quickly outgrew the national level and moved into competition across Asia by ages nine to ten, where he delivered many podium finishes. He then later opened the IAME Asia season with a victory and was leading the championship standings-until COVID-19 and lockdowns brought the calendar to a halt.
After COVID, Sebastien made a major jump straight to Europe and competed at the highest level available at age twelve. He raced across the main international karting calendar—WSK events, Champions of the Future and Champions of the Future Academy, plus the FIA European Karting Championship and the FIA World Karting Championship—lining up in deep, world-class fields. Over those years, he progressed through Mini60, OK-Junior, and OK-Senior, staying competitive and earning standout moments, even starting a final on the front row in the Italian Championship.
After karting, Sebastien transitioned straight into endurance racing, stepping into an LMP4 prototype (Ligier JS P4). He entered the final round of the 2025 Ligier European Series—Round 6 at Portimão—and scored a podium on his debut, delivering right away under pressure. With limited time to adapt to a new car and a different race format, he displayed pace and calm execution when it mattered the most.
