Hooning on the streets of Manila: The Lotus F1 Manila Speed Show

Words by Ian Magbanua | Photos by author and Jenna V Genio

Standing less than five meters away from a Lotus Formula 1 car doing donuts in the middle of the Quirino Grandstand stands as one of the Manila Speed Show's most memorable moments. Fine. So it might actually be a Renault R31 from 2010 that the team just repainted to resemble their current grand prix car, but who cares when you feel that 700+ hp V8 engine pummel your chest with its howling revs.

For those who braved the heat to see the first-ever Formula 1 car to actually roll down Philippine asphalt at the hands of Filipino-Swiss driver Marlon Stockinger, may this bring back memories of those glorious moments. And for those who missed out on this historic event last May 4 and 5, 2013, come and see what you missed.

Rain or shine, Bimmerfest 2012 must go on. On the 5th of May, 2012, the BMW Car Club of the Philippines, the officially recognized BMW car club by the International Council of BMW Clubs and BMW AG, took 39 of their best four-wheeled Bimmers to the 9th Ave. Activity Center of the BGC to put their passion and joy on display.

The all-BMW car show featured Bimmers from all generations, complete from the smallest 1 Series' to the the full blown X5. There were also some rare M Powered monsters and some sexy Z's on display. And despite the rain showers, the 9th edition of Bimmerfest flooded with BMW fans, admirers, owners, and drivers.
