DANIEL LHUILLIER MIRANDA On What It Takes To Live With Conviction
KATHERINE ALAMARES
A FERVENT SPIRIT
With an abundance of places to visit and experiences to have, it is easy to feel enthused and chase after life’s numerous adventures. Daniel Miranda is one to tread a thrilling path through his promising career in kart racing. “Growing up, I’ve been very active. I like the adrenaline. I like the rush,” he says. He recounts the story of his father Martin Miranda, who is also a karter, motocross rider, and drag-racer, teaching him and his brother the basics of racing. “I was not scared of the speed,” recalls Miranda, who was then 12. Although his father was initially hesitant, he eventually supported his son’s newfound passion.

From pursuing a career in kart racing, Miranda found himself swept in new roles he is proud to take: a loving partner to Sofia Andres and a father to their daughter Zoe. He values his family above all, moving through life with an ardent spirit.

CHASING VICTORY

Born and raised in Cebu, Miranda started racing in the local Kart Zone. After two years of thinking of it more as a hobby, he realized he wanted to be more competitive. “I used to fly to Manila every weekend, just to race [and to] practice,” he shares. He would take on more seasoned racecar drivers, nearly all older than him. “I wasn’t intimidated in any way,” he says. “But it forced me to be better as a racecar driver and to improve quicker so [I can] win.”
